Can't Take Away Who I Am Lyrics

Passion Level: 9
Motivation Level: 9

This is a song I wrote a couple years ago and a song that I submitted to the American Lyrics Contest. It was rejected. Maybe others don't really appreciate it, but this one means a lot to me. I like who I am and I don't care about other people trying to tear that down or take that feeling away from me. That's what this song is all about.

Can't Take Away Who I Am

Sitting on the edge of a dream
Reaching out I'm about to fall
People think it's a crazy thing
To just let go, and risk it all
They think they can take it all away from me
Just means that they don't know who I am and who I wanna be

'Cause you could take everything from me
And I wouldn't feel a thing
'Cause you can't take away who I am
You could crush all of my dreams
And I wouldn't stop believin'
'Cause you can't take away who I am
And nobody can

Walking far my legs are weak
Feel like I might have to crawl
But when I get where I need to be
Wait and see, I will stand up tall
People think I'll give up so easily
Just means that they don't anything about the real me

'Cause you could take everything from me
And I wouldn't feel a thing
'Cause you can't take away who I am
You could crush all of my dreams
And I wouldn't stop believin'
'Cause you can't take away who I am
And nobody can

No, no, Nobody can (6x)
