Lord , Lord, tho I may drown, can’t no one hold me down.
Lord ,Lord ,tho anit no one here to hear my words, can’t no on hold me down.

You can’t hold me down, can’t keep me chained to my past, can’t keep me chained to my past.

Lord O mighty God, can’t no one hold me down, I said Lord O might God, can’t no one hold me down!
You can’t hold me down can’t take my pain and pin me down, 
I will rise above and claim my life again.

You can’t take my past and make it who I am, I will rise above to breath fresh air again.

Lord , Lord, Lord, won’t let you fade away.
Lord Lord, Lord, knows you can’t take me today.

I am me , today's my destiny, can’t hold me down , can’t pin me down with chains of yesterday.
You can’t hold me down.
