They can say anything they want to say Try to bring me down But I will not allow Anyone to succeed Hanging clouds over 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 From me They can do anything they want to do 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 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 CHORUS
