Mm-hm, no
Yeah, yeah
Ooh, hm
I woke up this morning with a smile on my face (ha-ooh)
And nobody's gonna bring me down today (ha-ooh)
Been feel 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
Every time somebody hurt my pride
Feelin' 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
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, I'm gonna carry on (carry on)
I'ma keep on (keep on) singin' my song
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la (yeah, yeah)
La-la-la-la-la-la
I never wanna dwell on the pain again, ooh, no, no (ha-ooh)
There's no use in relivin' how I hurt back then, oh, no (ha-ooh)
Rememberin' too well the hell I felt when I was running out of faith
Every step I'm 'bout to take was towards a better day
'Cause I'm 'bout to say farewell to every single lie
All the fears I've held too long inside
Every time I felt I couldn't try
All the negativity and strife
For too long I've been strugglin', couldn't go on
But now I've found I'm feelin' strong and I'm moving on
I believe (I believe) they can take anything from me (ooh)
They can't succeed in taking my inner peace from me (whoa)
They can say all they wanna say about me
But I, I'm gonna carry on (carry on)
I'll keep on (keep on) singin' my song
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la (oh, ooh)
La-la-la-la-la-la (yeah, yeah)
Whoa
Every time I tried to be what they wanted from me
It never came naturally, so I ended up in misery (misery)
Was unable to see (couldn't see) all the good around me (around me)
Wasting much energy on what they thought of me
Than simply just rememberin' to breathe, oh
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
'Til I get to heaven above
I have made the decision, never to give in
'Til the day I die, no matter what
I'm gonna carry on, I'ma keep on, mm
Singin' my song
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la (oh)
La-la-la-la-la-la (oh, whoa)
I believe they can take anything from me (I believe)
But they can't succeed in taking my inner peace from me
They can do what they wanna, say what they wanna say, oh, whoa
(Say what they wanna)
But I'm gonna (I'm gonna) keep on (keep on)
I believe it that they can take from me
But they can't take my inner peace
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Say what they wanna say (wanna say)
I'm gonna sing my song
Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, yeah, yeah, yeah
Hey, I say that- (hi, dog)
(Hi) hey dawg, it's me Wasim (hi)
Is that it?
Yes (are we done?)
You're done
Can we do home now? (Goodbye)
Diginose (stop)
Please, thank you
I'm done (you're welcome)
