I woke up this morning with a smile on my face
And nobody's gonna bring me down today
Been feeling like nothing's been going my way lately
But I decided right here and now
That my outlook's gonna change
That's why I'm gonna

Say goodbye to all the tears I've cried
Everytime somebody hurt my pride
Feelin' like they won't let me live life
Take the time to look at what is mine

I see every blessing so clearly
and I thank god for what I got from above

I believe they can take anything from me
but they can't succeed in taking my inner peace from me
they can say all they wanna say about me
but I'm gonna carry on, I'mma keep on
singin' my song

I never wanna dwell on the pain again
there's no use in relivin' how I hurt back then
remembering too well the hell I felt when I was running out of faith
every step I'm 'bout to take moves towards a better day
cause I'm about to

Say farewell to every single lie
and all the fears I've held too long inside
everytime I felt I couldn't try
all the negativity inside

For too long,
I've been struggling, couldn't go on
but now I've found I'm feelin' strong and I'm moving on

I believe they can take anything from me
but they can't succeed in taking my inner peace from me
they can say all they wanna say about me
but I'm gonna carry on, I'mma keep on
singin' my song

Every time I tried to be
what they wanted from me
It never came naturally,
so I ended up in misery
was unable to see all the good around me

Wasted so much energy
on what they thought of me
than simply just remembering to breathe

I'm humanly unable to please
everyone at the same time
so now I find my peace of mind
living one day at a time

In the end I answer to one god
comes down to one love
till I get to heaven above
I have made the decision
never to give in
till the I day I die no matter what

Im gonna carry on,
I'mma keep on singin' my song
They can't take anything from me

I believe they can take anything from me
but they can't succeed in taking my inner peace from me
they can say all they wanna say about me
but I'm gonna carry on, I'mma keep on
singin' my song
