Terry Dexter Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your dream's gonna see the light of day
Don't believe that you can't
Achieve whatever your after
Can't be swayed by the simple minds
That wanna hold you down
And in His time the pain you carry
If you listen to this earth
And you ask the Lord for guidance
And you'll see the many blessings
Have you been in on the glory
Have you came to just adore the
You read all of His stories
Don't let no one stand in your life
Change the way you feel inside
Nobody on this earth
Can tell you what you're worth
Stand up you're a child of a king
And you can do anything
You try to please everyone to
Time to live your life, release those old delusions
Stop wasting time and start embracing
His light and let it shine
Count your blessings when they say
Oh it ain't no way but what matters
Never stop believing in yourself
But in the Lord God and you'll see
All the answers that free you from change
That would seem to keep you standing still
Don't let no one stand in your life
Change the way you feel inside
Nobody on this earth
Can tell you what you're worth
Stand up, you're a child of a king
And you can do anything
I'm living, we're living
Been giving, God's been giving position
More than all the tears inside you
You can leave them all behind you
When you have the Love

Nobody on this earth

You're a child of the king
Never stop believing in yourself
Way you feel inside
Nobody on this earth
Stand up, stand up
And you can do anything
