intro: A,E,D


A        E                 F#m      C#m
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

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

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

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

'Cause there's a light in me that shines brightly

They can try 
              E                    A (E,D)
But they can't take that away from me
