i woke up this mornin with a smile on my face
and nobodys gonna bring me down today
been feelin like nothins been goin my way lately
but i decided right here ,right now, thet my outlooks gonna change
thats why im gonna
say goodbye to all the tears ive cried everytime someone hurt my pride
feelin like they wont let me live life, and take the time to look at what is mine

i see every blessin so clearly, and i thank god for what i got from above

chorus:
i believe they can take anything from me
but they cant suceed in taking my inner peace from me
they can say all they wanna say about me ,but im
im 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, theres 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 im bout to take well its towards a better day
cause im about to
say farewell to every single lie and all the fears ive held to long inside
every time i felt i couldnt try all the negativity and strife

cause too long ,ive been strugglin, couldnt go on
but know ive found im feelin strong and im movin 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 rememberin to breath,ive learned
im 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
im gonna carry on, i'mma keep singin my song

repeat chorus x2
