I woke up this mornin with a smile on my face
And nobody's gonna bring me down today
Been feelin like nothin's been goin 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
And take the time to look at what is mine
I see every blessing so clearly
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, I'm gonna carry on
Im'a keep on singin my song

I never wanna dwell on the pain again ooo no no
There's no use relivin how I hurt back then
Rememberin too well the hell I felt when I was runnin out faith ohhh
Every step I'm bout to take
Well, it towards a better day
Cuz I'm bout to
Say farewell to every single lie
All the feelings I've held too long inside
Every time I felt I couldn't try
All the negativity and strife

Cuz too long I been strugglin
Couldn't go on
But now, I've found
I'm feelin strong and I'm movin on

Chorus

Ohhh oooo oh
Every time 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
I wasted so much energy on what they thought of me
Than simply just rememberin to breathe ohhh
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
It comes down to one love
Til I get to heaven above
I have made the decision never to give in
Til the day I die no matter what
I'm gonna carry on
I'ma keep on singin my song

Oh oh Oh oh
I believe they theyyyyy
They can do what they wanna (They can say what they wanna)
Say what they wanna say
But I'm gonna keep on
I believe that they can take from me
But they can't take my inner peace
OHH oh oh yea yea yea yeaa
Say what you wanna say
I'm gonna sing my song
Woah woah woah yea yea
