My New Anthem






Oohhh, Yeah, Oooh Huh 
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 
So I decided right here and now that my outlook's gonna change 

That's why I'm gonna 
Say goodbye to all the tears I've cried 
Everytime somebody hurt my pride 
Feeling like they won't let me live life 
and take the time to look at what is mine 

I see every lesson so clearly 
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 peace from me
They can say all they wanna say about me 

But I'm gonna carry on 
Keep on singing my song 

I never wanna dwell on the pain again 
There's no use in reliving how I hurt back then, no
Remembering so well the hell I felt when I was running out of faith 
Every step I vowed to take was 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 
Everytime I felt I couldn't hide 
All the negativity inside 

For too long I've been struggling. I 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 peace from me
They can say all they wanna say about me 

But I'm gonna carry on 
I'm gonna keep on singing my song

Whoa and everytime I tried to be what they wanted from me 
It never came naturally 
So I ended up in misery, wasn't able to see 
All the good around me 
I wasted so much energy on what they thought of me 
Simply just remembering to breathe 

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 
It comes down to one love 
Until I get to heaven above I have made the decision 
Never to give in 
Til the I day I die no matter what I'm gonna carry on
I'm gonna keep on singing my song..... 

(they can't take anything from me) 

I believe that they can do what they wanna... 
Say what they wanna say... 

(they can say what they wanna) 

But I'm gonna keep on
(keep on) 
I believe that they can take from me 
But they can't take my inner peace 

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, 

Say what you wanna say, but I'm gonna sing my song 
Oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

    1. Yes, I was able to watch some of the Olympics. They were pretty awesome. I recorded the things that were of particular interest. In fact, we are still watching the closing ceremony. And about the water... well, I can't promise to stay out completely, but I'll be careful. :)
