Standard (EADGBE)

I woke up this morning with a smile on my face

And nobody's gonna bring me down today

Been feeling 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

Feeling like they won't let me live my 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 piece 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)

Singing my song, yeah yeah

I never wanna dwell on the pain again, ooh no no

There's no use in reliving how I hurt back then, oh, oh no

Remembering too well the hell I felt

 When I was running out of faith, oh

Every step I'm about to take

 Well it's towards a better day, 'Cause I'm about to

Say farewell to every single lie

 And all the fears I've held too long inside

Every time I felt I couldn't try

 All the negativity and strife

Cause too long, I've been, struggling, couldn't go on

But now, I've found, I'm feeling strong and I'm moving on

I believe they can take anything from me, but they

Can't succeed in taking my inner piece from me

Now they can say all they wanna say about me, but I

I'm gonna carry on (carry on)

I'ma keep on (keep on)

Singing my song (la la la la la la la la la la la la la laaaa)

Every time I tried to be

 What they wanted from me

 It never came naturally

So I ended up in misery

Was unable to see

All the good around me

Wasting so much energy

 On what they thought of me

 Than simply just remembering to breathe, ohh ooh

Ohh, I've learned

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

Till I get to heaven above

I have made the decision

Never to give in

 Till the day I die no matter what

I'm gonna carry on

 I'ma keep on, mmm

 Singing my song... (la la la la la la la... )

I believe they can take anything from me

(I believe, yeah)

 But they can't succeed in taking my inner piece from me

(Oh, oh)

They can say what they wanna say about me

 But I'm, I'm gonna carry on,

 I'mma keep on.. singing my song....
