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 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 Oh, they, 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, 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 the darkness will fade 'Cause there, there's a light in me That shines brightly, yes 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 Oh, they can say anything they want to say Try to bring 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, yes They can try but they can't take that away from me
