I woke up this morning with a smile on my face
And nobodys gonna bring me down today
Been feeling like nothings been going my way lately
But i decided right here,right now, that my outlooks 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,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, there's no use in relivin'
how i hurt back then rememberin' too well the
hell i felt when i was runnin' out of faith
every step i'm 'bout to take well it's towards a better day
cause i'm about to
say farewell to every single lie and all the fears
i've held too long inside
every time i felt i couldn't try,all the negativity and strife

cause 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

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,
wasting so much energy on what they thought of me
than simply just remembering to breathe, i've learned
i'm humanly unable to please everyone at the same timr
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 the dicision never to give in till the day
i die no matter what
i'm gonna carry on , i'mma keep on singin' my song

repeat chorus x2
