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 able
Now 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 able
Now I´m standing up for the first time in my life
I´m standing up, now I´m ready for love
