Song of the week - Champion

This weeks "Song of the week", is the beautiful soulbalad "Champion". It´s the second single from the second album, "Stronger", and it where released in November 2006. The song is written by Agnes herself, Curtis A Richardsson and Emanuel Olsson. It got pretty much airplay and peaked at #19 in Swedens hitlist and #4 at the important "Tracklistan". In my opinion "Champion" is the strongest track on "Stronger" and one of Agnes best songs ever!
Below you can se a live performance of "Champion" in the finale of Idol 2006. You can watch the fantastic musicvideo here.

Lyrics:

You say it's impossible But you didn't even try at all Why am I the only one Who gives the most all the time You never can admit the truth Trying to laugh it off You say I'm a silly girl

But you just don't understand Did you think I could ever be The same way that I used to be Letting you have your way Though you had the best of me

The tables are turning now I'm the one that's in control No more lonely broken hearts Can't you see I'm moving on ´

Cause I'm a champion So much stronger than I was before Cause I'm a champion

Finally taking hold of my life

It's easier to let you go Now I'm not emotional I've learned to make it on my own I can carry on by myself I'm through with all the pain No more drowning in the rain I'm free to be who I am This time I am moving on

Cause I'm a champion So much stronger than I was before Cause I'm a champion Finally taking hold of my life my life Oh, oh, on my life, oohh

Every sign, every move I will seek without you Everytime every move It will be what I choose Every sign every move I will seek without you Everytime every move It will be what I choose Cause I'm a champion So much stronger than I was before Cause I'm a champion Finally taking hold of my life Cause I'm a champion So much stronger than I was before Cause I'm a champion Finally taking hold of my life
