Can't Take That Away lyrics

They can say

Anything they want to say

Try to bring me down

But I will not allow anyone to succeed hanging clouds over me

And they can try

How 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

'Cause there's

There's a light in me

That shines brightly

They can try

But they can't take that away from me

From me

No, no, no

Oh, they

They can do

Anything they want to you

If you let them in

But they won't ever win

If you cling to your pride and just push them aside,

See, I

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 the darkness will fade

'Cause there's

There's light in me me

That shines brightly, yes

They can try

But they can't take that away from me

No, oh, oh

They can't take this

Precious love I'll always have inside me

Certainly the Lord will guide me where I need to go

Woah, woah

They can say

Anything they want to say

Try to bring me down

But I won't face the ground

I will rise steadily sailing out of their reach

Although they do try

How to make me feel that I

Don't matter at all

But I refuse to fall

Tell me what I believe or lose faith in my dreams

'Cause there's a light in me

That shines brightly, yes

They can try, but they can't take that away from me

From me

No, no, no, no, no

Me
