Can't Take That Away (Mariah's Theme)

Ooh

Hoo

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's

There's a light in me

That shines brightly

They can try

But they can't take that away from me

From me

No, no, no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no

Aye

Oh

They, they can do

Anything they want to you

If you let them in

But they won't 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 won't be afraid

And the darkness will fade

'Cause there's

There's a light in me

That shines brightly

Yes

They can try

But they can't take that away from me

No

They can't take this

Precious love I'll always have inside me

Certainly, the Lord will guide me where I need to go

Whoa

They can say

Anything they want to say

Try to break me down

But I won't face the ground

I will rise steadily

Sailing out of their reach

Oh Lord, they do try hard to make me feel that

I don't matter at all

But I'll 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 can't take that away from me

From me

No, no-no-no-no, no, whoa

Mmm
