Can't Take That Away (Mariah's Theme) - 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 feel that I

Don't matter at all

But I refuse to falter in what I believe

Or lose faith in my dreams

Cause there, there's a light in me

That shines brightly

They can try but they cant take that away from me

Oh, they, they can do

Anything they want to you

If you let them in

But they wont ever win

If you cling to your pride

And just push them aside

See I, I have learned

There's an inner peace I own

Something in my soul that they cannot possess

So I wont be afraid and the darkness will fade

Cause there, there's a light in me

That shines brightly, yes

They can try but they cant take that away from me

No, they cant 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 wont face the ground

I will rise steadily sailing out of their reach

Oh, Lord, they do try

Hard to make me feel that I dont matter at all

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, yes

They can try but they cant take that away from me
