Can't Take That Way Lyrics

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's, there's a light in me
That shines brightly
They can try
But they can't take that away from me
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's, 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 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
Yes, they can try
But they can't take that away from me
From me
