I woke up this morning with a smile on my face
And nobody's gonna bring me down today
Been feeling like nothing's been going 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
Feeling like they won't let me live my 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
I believe they can take anything from me, but they
Can't succeed in taking my inner piece from me
They can say all they wanna say about me, but I
I'm gonna carry on (carry on)
I'ma keep on (keep on)
Singing my song, yeah yeah
I never wanna dwell on the pain again, ooh no no
There's no use in reliving how I hurt back then, oh, oh no
Remembering too well the hell I felt
When I was running out of faith, oh
Every step I'm about 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, struggling, couldn't go on
But now, I've found, I'm feeling strong and I'm moving on
I believe they can take anything from me, but they
Can't succeed in taking my inner piece from me
Now they can say all they wanna say about me, but I
I'm gonna carry on (carry on)
I'ma keep on (keep on)
Singing my song (la la la la la la la la la la la la la laaaa)
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, ohh ooh
Ohh, I've learned
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
Comes down to one love
Till I get to heaven above
I have made the decision
Never to give in
Till the day I die no matter what
I'm gonna carry on
I'ma keep on, mmm
Singing my song (la la la la la la la )
I believe they can take anything from me
(I believe, yeah)
But they can't succeed in taking my inner piece from me
(Oh, oh)
They can say what they wanna say about me
But I'm, I'm gonna carry on,
I'mma keep on singing my song
