intro: ,,
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
CHORUS:
Cause there s a light in me
That shines brightly
They can try
But they can t take that away from me
repeat intro (,,) ,
They can do anything they want to you
lf 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
l 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 1 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
