Showing Original Post only (View all)You may trod me down in the very dirt, But still, like Dust I'll rise [View all]
They can say,
Anything they want to say,
Try to bring me down,
[url=http://postimage.org/][img][/img][/url]
But I will not allow anyone to succeed hanging clouds over me,
I will not face the ground
And they can try
How to make me feel that I,
Don't matter at all,
But I refuse to falter in what I believe or loose faith in my dreams
'Cause there's,
There's a light in me,
That shines brightly,
They can try,
But they can't take that away from me
From me
There's an inner peace I own,
Something in my soul that they can not possess
So I won't be afraid and the darkness will fade
Tell me what I believe or loose faith in my dreams,
'Cause there's a light in me,
That shines brightly yes
They can't take this
Precious love I'll always have inside me,
?
They can try but they can't take that away from
Me
From me
No no nooo
Me
