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, 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 all they wanna say about me, but I'm I'm gonna carry on (carry on) I'mma keep on (keep on) singin' my song I never wanna dwell on the pain again, there's no use in relivin' how I hurt back then Rememberin' too well the hell I felt when I was runnin' out of faith 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 Everytime I felt I couldn't try, all the negativity and strife Cause too long, I've been strugglin', 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 I'm gonna carry on (carry on) I'mma keep on (keep on) singin' my song Everytime 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, wasting so much energy on What they thought of me than simply just rememberin' to breathe, I've learned 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 day I die no matter what I'm gonna carry on, I'mma keep on singin' my song I believe they can take anything from me But they can't succeed in taking my inner peace from me They can do what they wanna, say what they wanna say, oh (they can say what they wanna) But I'm gonna (gonna) keep on (keep on) I believe that they can take from me But they can't take my inner peace Say what they wanna say (wanna say) I'm gonna sing my song
