"Can't take that away"

by Mariah Carey

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
That I don't matter at
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

They can d anything they want to do
If you let them in
But they won't even win
If you cling to your pride
And just push them aside
See I have, 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 Oh... They can't take this
Precious love I'll always have inside me
Certainly the Lord will guide me
Where I need to go, oh...

They can say anything they want to say
Try to bring 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
Or lose faith in my dreams

Cause there's light in me that shines brightly
Hey... hey... They can try
But they can't take that away from me
