They can say anything they

Want to say

Try to bring me down

But I will not allow

Anyone to succeed

Hanging clouds over me

And they can't 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's a light in me

That shines brightly

They can try

But they can't take that away from me

From me

They can't 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 there's an inner

Peace I own

Something in my soul

That they cannot possess

So I won't be afraid

And darkness will fade

'Cause 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

They can't say anything they want to say

Try to break me down

But I won't face the ground

I will rise steadily

Sailing out of their reach

Oh Lord

They do 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's a light in me

That shines brightly

They can try

But they can't take that away from me

From me
