mmmmmhmm...
ooooo
yeahhhh
ooooo

I woke up this morning with a smile on my face (oo)
And nobody`s gonna bring me down today(oo)
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
Every time 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

Chorus:
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

(la, la, la, etc)

I never wanna dwell on the pain again, oooh, no, no
There`s no use in relivin` how I hurt back then,oooh, no no
Rememberin` too well the hell I felt when I was runnin` out of faith, oh
Every step I`m `bout to take, well it`s towards a better day
`Cause I`m `bout to
Say farewell to every single lie
All the fears I`ve held too long inside
Every time I felt I couldn`t try, all the negativity and strife

For too long, I`ve been, strugglin` couldn`t go on
But now I`ve found I`m feelin` strong and I`m moving on

Chorus
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

Every time I tried to be what they wanted from me
Never came naturally, so I ended up in misery
Was unable to see all the good around me
I wasted so much energy on what they thought of me
Simply just rememberin` to breathe, oooh
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 a 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
(lalalalalalala)

repeat chorus X2
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
