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 hard 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

CHORUS:
´Cause there´s a light in me
That shines brightly
They can try
But they can´t take that away from me
From me

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 have learned there´s an inner peace I own
Something in my soul
That they cannot possess
So I won´t be afraid
And darkness will fade

´Cause there´s a light in me
That shines brightly
They can try
But they can´t take that away from me

No
They can´t take this
Precious love
I´ll always have inside me
Certainly the Lord will guide me
Where I need to go

They can say anything they want to say
Try to break me down
But I won´t face the ground
I will rise steadily
Sailing out of their reach

Oh Lord
They do try hard 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 a light in me that shines brightly
They can try
But they can´t take that away from me
From me
