They…
There's a light that shines inside of me
That nobody can touch
No matter what they try to do
No matter what they try to say
So you keep that in mind
When people try to bring you down
Because they can't take it away from you
There's a light that shines inside of me
Shines so brightly
And they can try
So desperately
But they can't take that way from me
Can't take that away from me
Can't take that away from me
They can't take
They can't take
They can't take
They, they
They can say
Anything they want to say
They can do
Anything they want to do
To you
They…
There's a light in my that shines so brightly
They can try
But they can't take away from me
No…
Can't take that away, baby
They can do
What they wanna do
If you let them in
But they won't, they can't
If you cling to your pride
And just push them aside, see
Ain't never gonna take it away, no, no
Ain't never gonna take it away, no, no
Ain't never gonna take it away, no, no
Ain't never gonna take it away, no, no…
Ain't gonna take it away from me
Ain't gonna take it away from me
Ain't gonna take it away from me…
They can't take that way from me
No…
They can't take this
Precious love I'll always have inside me
And certainly the Lord
Will guide me where I need to go
(They…)
I won't be afraid no more
(They…)
Can't take that away from me
Can't take that away from me
They can't take
They can't take
They can't take, take, take
Oh, I won't be afraid no more
Their negative energy
Their negative energy
Said their negative energy
Is not gonna get to me
I'm not gonna let you get the best of me
I'm not gonna let you get the best of me
I'm not gonna let you get the best of me
I'm not gonna let you get the best of me
They can't take my love from me
They can't take my heart from me
They can't take my love from me
They can't take my love from me
See there's a light
That shines brightly
So brightly, so brightly
They can't take that away from me
Oh Lord, they do try (Lord they do try, Lord they do try)
Oh Lord, they do try (They can't take that away from me)
My life, my love, my faith, my dreams, my soul, my heart, my life
My life, my love, my dreams, my faith, my dreams, my heart, my soul, my life
They can't take that away from me
No, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no
They…
Oh, you're never gonna take my pride
Never gonna take my pride
Never gonna take my heart
Never gonna take my soul
Never gonna get to me
Never gonna touch my heart
Never gonna take my pride
Oh…
You can say what you want, baby
Can't hold me down
