Can't Keep Me Down



I'm not that easy
To destroy
Every day for me is breezy
My defenses I will deploy
I'll keep on going strong
I'm keeping up the fight
Keep on singing my song
You cannot put out my light

I want to keep on shining
As long as this life will last
Never gonna start that whining
Still I'm gonna have a blast
Don't bring me down
I'm shooting high
Always trying not to frown
Never ever wanting to cry

Trying never to be dark
Trying to spread love
I really wanna leave my mark
Drama's what I'm trying to get rid of
I'm always trying to glow
Trying not to drown
And I just want you to know
You can't keep me down
