Well, I heard some people talkin' just the other day

And they said you were gonna put me on a shelf

Well, let me tell ya, I got some news for you

And you'll soon find out it's true

And then you'll have to eat your lunch all by yourself



'Cuz I'm already gone

And I'm feelin' strong

I will sing this victory song

Woo-ooh-ooh



The letter that you wrote me

Made me stop and wonder why

But I guess you felt like you had to set things right

Just remember this, my girl

When you look up in the sky

You can see the stars and still not see the light

That's right



And I'm already gone

And I'm feelin' strong

I will sing this victory song

Woo-ooh-ooh



Well I know it wasn't you who held me down

Heaven knows it wasn't you who set me free

So oftentimes it happens

That we live our lives in chains

And we never even know we have the key



But me, I'm already gone

And I'm feelin' strong

I will sing this victory song

'Cuz I'm already gone



Yes, I'm already gone

And I'm feelin' strong

I will sing this victory song

'Cuz I'm already gone
