I woke up this morning with a smile on my face, (sha-ooh)
And nobody's gonna bring me down, today (sha-ooh)
Been feeling like nothing's been going my way, lately
but Idecided right here right 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 and 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 what they wanna say, about me but I'm
I'm gonna carry on, (carry on)
Imma keep on, (keep on)
singin' my song, hey
hey-ey hey-ey hey,
(la la la la)

I never wanna dwell on the pain, again, oooh no, no (sha-ooh)
It's no use in relivin' how I hurt back then, oh no, no (sha-ooh)
Rememberin' too well the hell I felt when I was running outta faith, ooh
Every step I'm 'bout to take, well it's 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
Every time I felt I couldn't try, all the negativity and strife

I believe they can take anything from me. but they
Can't succeed in taking my inner peace from me
They can say what they wanna say, about me but I'm
I'm gonna carry on, (carry on)
Imma keep on, (keep on)
singin' my song

Every time I tried to be what they wanted from me
It never came naturallly
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 rememberin to breathe, hey, oooh, yeah
I'm humanly unable to please everyone at the same time,
So now I find my peace of mind, livin'
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 day I die no matter what

I'm gonna carry on
Imma keep on, mmmm

Singin' my...
Song................ (la la la etc) ooooohhh, whow

Whoooo whooooo yeah......

I believe they can take anything from me, (I believe they)
but they
Can't succeed in taking my inner peace from me (whow, whow they can do what they wanna, say what they wanna say)
(they can say what they wanna)
I believe they can take from me but they can't take my inner peace)
