The Woman I Am — Chaka Khan

Hey sister I never knew which way to go Everybody had an answer So I said Go lecture someone, go lecture someone

I could feel it in my heart babe I couldn't scream, I couldn't shout I had to find out in my own way Ran into someone - ran into someone

I'll be the woman I am Now I don't have to hide All that I feel inside I'll be the woman I am Just had to let it show Had nowhere else to go

I had to learn to trust myself I had to learn just when to say no Always trying to please someone else I had to let go, I had to let go

The world is filled of many wonders I had to look to heaven for my own I saw the star that I was unter Lord lead me back home, lead me back home

I'll be the woman I am Now I don't have to hide All that I feel inside I'll be the woman I am Just had to let it show Had nowhere else to go

I can look at myself and I'm not afraid I have finally learned how to love I can feel everything that I've never felt And I'm sure now that I've always known
