Well, I heard some people talkin' just the other day
And they said you were gonna put me on a shelf
But let me tell you I got news for you and you'll soon find out it's true
And then you'll have to eat your lunch all by yourself

'Cause I'm already gone
And I'm feelin' strong
I will sing this victory song
Listen, woo hoo hoo woo hoo hoo

The letter that you wrote me made me stop and wonder why
But I guess you felt like you had to set things right
But just remember this, my friend, 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
(I'm already gone)
And I'm feelin' strong
(Now I'm feelin' strong)
I will sing this victory song, oh yeah
Woo hoo hoo woo hoo hoo

Well, I know it wasn't you who held me down
Heaven knows it wasn't you who set me free
Oh baby, often times it happens that we live our lives in chains
And we never even know we have the key, oh no

But me, I'm already gone
(I'm already gone)
And I'm feelin' strong
(Now I'm feelin' strong)
I will sing this victory song

'Cause I'm already gone
'Cause I'm already gone
And I'm feelin' strong
And now, I'll sing this victory song

'Cause I'm already gone
'Cause I'm already gone
'Cause I'm already gone
