Can't Take That Away

They can say anything they want
To say to try to bring me down
But I will not allow anyone to succeed
Hanging clouds over me and they
They can try hard to make me feel
That I don't matter at all
But I refuse to falter in what I believe
Or lose faith in my dreams

'Cause there, there's a light in me that shines brightly
They can try but they can't take that away from me

And they can do anything they want
To you if you let them in
But they won't ever win
If you cling to your pride and just push them aside
See I have learned that there's an inner peace
I own something in my soul
That they cannot possess
So I won't be afraid and the darkness will fade

'Cause there, there's a light in me that shines brightly
They can try but they can't take that away from me

No, they can't take this precious love I'll always have inside me
Certainly the Lord will guide me
Where I need to go

And they can say anything they want
To say to try to bring me down
But I won't face the ground
I will rise steadily sailing out of their reach
And they can try hard to make me feel
That I don't matter at all
But I refuse to falter in what I believe
Or lose faith in my dreams

'Cause there, there's a light in me that shines brightly
They can try but they can't take that away from me
