I have the strength to conquer all things.

I’ve got something this world can’t take away.

I’ll Keep pressing forward everyday.

I’ve got something this world can’t take away.

Go ahead take your best shot I am here to play.

I’ve got something this world can’t take away.

My days are sunny even though the sky is gray.

I’ve got something this world can’t take away.

You can close the door, I’ll just push it open and go in anyway.

I’ve got something this world can’t take away.

Your words don’t offend me, I don’t care what you say.

I’ve got something this world can’t take away.

My feet are swift and I can win this relay.

I’ve got something this world can’t take away.

My clock is set there won’t be any delays.

Do you know the reason why

I can accomplish all these things today?

Is because I know how to pray.
