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 standing 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 standing 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
