intro: A,E,D


A        E                 F#m      C#
They can say anything they want to say
                D
Try to bring me down
            A
But I will not allow
   Bm
Anyone to succeed
         E
Hanging clouds over me
    A        E                   F#m
And they can try hard to make me feel
     C#m               D
That I don't matter at all
         A
But I refuse to falter
   Bm
In what I believe
        E
Or lose faith in my dreams


CHORUS:
       A          C#
'Cause there's a light in me
     F#m        D
That shines brightly
          Bm
They can try
          E                        A
But they can't take that away from me

repeat intro (A,E,D)
A        E                 F#m     C#m
They can do anything they want to you
                D
lf you let them in
              A
But they won't ever win
        Bm
If you cling to your pride
         E
And just push them aside
    A     E                         F#m    C#m
See I have learned there's an inner peace I own
                D
Something in my soul
            A
That they cannot possess
      Bm
So I won't be afraid
        E
And darkness will fade

       A          C#
'Cause there's a light in me
      F#m        D
That shines brightly
         Bm
They can try
               E
But they can't take that away from me
F#m C#
No, they can't take this
D
Precious love
       F#m
l'll always have inside me
D             A
Certainly the Lord will guide me
Bm              E
Where I need to go

A         E                F#m     C#
They can say anything they want to say
                 D
Try to break me down
            A
But 1 won't face the ground
       Bm
I will rise steadily
         E
Sailing out of their reach

A
Oh Lord
        C#                  F#m
They do try hard to make me feel
     C#                D
That I don't matter at all
          A
But I refuse to falter
    Bm
In what I believe
         E
Or lose faith in my dreams

        A          C#             F#m            Bm
'Cause there's a light in me that shines brightly
    Bm    D
They can try
              E                    A (E,D)
But they can't take that away from me
