## Lyrics

* London
* Broadway

**[JULIET]**

I used to bite my tongue and hold my breath

Scared to rock the boat and make a mess

So I sat quietly, agreed politely

I guess that I forgot I had a choice

I let you push me past the breaking point

I stood for nothing, so I fell for everything

**[JULIET (AND ENSEMBLE)]**

You held me down, but I got up (Hey)

Already brushing off the dust

You hear my voice, you hear that sound

Like thunder, gonna shake the ground

You held me down, but I got up (Hey)

Get ready cause I had enough

I see it all, I see it now

I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter

Dancing through the fire

'Cause I am a champion, and you’re gonna hear me roar

Louder, louder than a lion

'Cause I am a champion, and you’re gonna hear me roar

**[JULIET]**

Now I’m floating like a butterfly

Stinging like a bee I earned my stripes

I went from zero, to my own hero

**[JULIET (AND ENSEMBLE)**

You held me down, but I got up (Hey)

Already brushing off the dust

You hear my voice, you hear that sound

Like thunder, gonna shake the ground

You held me down, but I got up (Hey)

Get ready 'cause I had enough

I see it all, I see it now

**[JULIET AND ENSEMBLE]**

I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter

Dancing through the fire

'Cause I am a champion, and you’re gonna hear me roar

Louder, louder than a lion

'Cause I am a champion, and you’re gonna hear me roar

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

You’re gonna hear me roar

**[JULIET]**

Oh oh oh oh oh oh
