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



Chorus:

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



Chorus (x3)



Ready for love...

Ready for love...

Ready for love...
