  • Nobody ever told her she was beauty
    One day, she realized she was already free
    The color in her eyes was fire rising
    She found the light inside, a new horizon

    Oh my my, oh my, she flies
    Oh my my, oh my, she flies
    Oh my my, oh my, she flies
    Oh my my, oh my, she flies

    She battled through in every kind of tribulation
    She reveled in adventure and imagination
    She never listened to no hater, liar
    Breaking boundaries and chasing fire

    Oh my my, oh my, she flies
    Oh my my, oh my, she flies
    Oh my my, oh my, she flies
    Oh my my, oh my, she flies

    It don't matter what people say
    'Cause they don't know you
    Where you come from or where you're going
    It don't matter what people say
    'Cause they don't know you
    Where you come from or where you're going

    You are phenomenal woman
    You are phenomenal, phenomenal!

    Oh my my, oh my, she flies
    Oh my my, oh my, she flies (she flies, ah-ha!)
    Oh my my (oh my my), oh my, she flies (she flies)
    Oh my my (fly), oh my, she flies (she flies)
