Standing Up

There was a time

I was not so certain

All the games

I played just multiplied the hurtin'

Mixed emotions never knowing right from wrong

I kept it all inside pretending to be strong

I'm a woman to myself

I must be true

Finally I believe

I know just what to do

I'm standin' up willin' and

I'm ableNow

I'm standing up for the first time in my life

I'm standing up now

I'm ready for love

I was pushed around until

I came to find

My insecurity was just a state of mind

Even though

I only had myself to blame

Now I've learnt to trust my heart and

I'll never be the same

I'm a woman but just like anybody else

I've got a lot to give don't wanna keep it to myself

I'm standin' up willin' and

I'm ableNow

I'm standing up for the first time in my life

I'm standing up now

I'm ready for love
