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 everytime somebody hurt my pride
Feeling 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...)

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 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
Everytime I felt I couldn't try, all the negativity and strife

Cause too long, I've been strugglin, coudln't go on
But now I've found I'm feeling strong and I'm movin on

Chorus

Everytime 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 rememberin to breath, 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'mma keep on singin my song
