I Am Cath’lic Hear Me Roar!

I am Cath’lic, hear me roar
I’m too famous to ignore
And I know too much to go back an’ pretend
’cause I’ve heard it all before
And I’ve bent down there to the floor
No one’s ever gonna bend me down again

CHORUS
Oh yes I am wise
A Gnostic, that is plain
Yes, I’ve paid the price
But look how much I gained
If I have to, I can do anything
I am strong (strong)
I am invincible (invincible)
I am de-vout

You can preach but never break me
’cause it only serves to make me
More determined to achieve my final goal
And I come back even stronger
Not a novice any longer
’cause I’ve darkened the conviction in my soul

CHORUS

I am Cath’lic watch me grow
Yes I’m waffling vs. Roe
As I spread my lovin’ gnosis ‘cross the land
Besides what’s an embryo
But a lump; long way to go
How can I make my brother understand

Oh yes I am wise
But it’s wisdom born of pain
Yes, I’ve paid the price
But look how much I gained
If I have to I can face anything
I am strong (strong)
I am invincible (invincible)
I am de-vout …
and a Libra!
