I woke up this mornin' 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 and now that my outlooks gonna changeThat's why I'm gonna say goodbye to all the tears I've cried
And every time somebody hurt my pride
And feelin' like they won't let me live lifeAnd take the time to look at what is mine
I see every lesson so clearly
I thank God for what I got from aboveI 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, keep on singin' my song
(Carry on, keep on)I never wanna dwell on the pain again, ooh no, no
There's no use in relivin' how I hurt back then, oh no, no
Rememberin' it's all well, to hell I felt when I was runnin' out of faith, oh
Every step I vowed to take was towards a better day'Cause I'm about to say farewell to every single lie
All the fears I've held too long inside
Every time I felt I could tryAll the negativity inside
For too long I've been strugglin', I couldn't go on
But now I've found, I'm feelin' strong and I'm movin' onI believe they can take anything from me
But they can't succeed in taking my inner peace from me
And they can say all they wanna say about me
But I, I'm gonna carry on, I'm gonna keep on singin' my songEvery time I tried to be what they wanted from me
It never came naturally
So I ended up in misery, wasn't able to see all the good around me
(Ended up, misery, couldn't see, 'round me)
They wasted so much energy on what they thought of me
Simply just rememberin' to breatheI'm human, I ain't able to please
Everyone at the same time, so now I find
My peace of mind living one day at a time[Incomprehensible] and I answer to one God
It comes down to one love
Til' I get to Heaven aboveI've made a decision, never to give it
Til' the I day I die no matter what
I'm gonna carry on, I'ma keep on singin' my song(They can't take anything from me)
(They can't succeed in taking my inner peace)
Make 'em do what they wanna
Say what they wanna say(They can say what they wanna)
But I'm gonna keep on
(Keep on)
I believe that they can take from me
But they can't take my inner peace
Say what you wanna say, but I'm gonna sing my song
(Wanna say)
