They can say anything they want to say

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

'Cause there's a light in me
That shines brightly
They can try
But they can't take that away from me

They can do anything they want to me
if i let them in
But they won't ever win
If i cling to my 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

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
