Analysis of I Am A Woman, Woman am I
Tammrow carneal 1978 (Orlando)
I Am a Woman, Woman Am I
I am a woman
Though strong, sometimes I cry
Yet, still powerful
I am a woman, woman am I.
I am a woman; I speak boldly
And please don’t ask me why
It’s the woman in me
I am a woman, woman am I.
I am a woman, you can’t break me
Though you may try
My strength is supernatural
I am a woman, woman am I.
I am a woman, overcoming many obstacles
This you can’t deny
I make it look easy
I am a woman, woman am I.
I am a woman, so many battles I’ve overcome
And still high I fly
You can’t take my wings
I am a woman, woman am I.
