mariah carey - can’t take that away (mariah’s theme) [live at vh1 divas 2000] lyrics

[spoken intro]
i wrote this song for everybody going through any type of adversity
any sort of struggle, any kind of pain
this is for you

[verse 1]
they, they can say anything they want to say
try to bring me down, but i will not allow
anyone to succeed hanging clouds over me
and they, they can try hard to make me feel
that i don’t matter at all
but i refuse to falter in what i believe
or lose faith in my dreams

[chorus]
’cause there’s
there’s a light in me
that shines brightly
they can try
but they can’t take that away from me

[post+chorus]
no, no, no, no, no, no, no
they

[verse 2]
oh, they
they can do anything they want to you
if you let thеm in, but they won’t ever win
if you cling to your pridе and just push them aside
see, i
i have learned there’s an inner peace i own
something in my soul that they cannot possess
so i won’t be afraid and the darkness will fade
[chorus]
’cause there’s
there’s a light in me
that shines brightly
yes, they can try
but they can’t take that away from me

[bridge]
no
they can’t take this
precious love i’ll always have inside me
certainly (certainly the lord)
the lord will guide me (he will guide me where i need to go)
where i need to go

[verse 3]
oh, oh, they can say
anything they want, want to say
try to bring me down, but i won’t face the ground
i will rise steadily sailing out of their reach
oh, lord, they do try
hard to make me feel that i don’t matter at all
but i refuse to falter in what i believe
or lose faith in my dreams

[chorus]
’cause there’s (there’s) a light in me (a light)
that shines brightly, yes
they can try
but they can’t take that away from me
[post+chorus]
not from me
never gonna take it
they ain’t never gonna take it away
mm+hmm
