They can say anything they want to say
D
Try to bring me down
A
But I will not allow

Anyone to succeed
E
Hanging clouds over me
AEF#m
And they can try hard to make me feel
C#mD
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:
AC#
'Cause there's a light in me
F#mD
That shines brightly
Bm
They can try
EA
But they can't take that away from me
