I've been up, I've been down,
But everything is just fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, it's true,
Tougher skin' - guess again...but not because I don't try, try, try, try,
I always do.

And I don't want nobody telling me I'm nobody.

I got a revelation: I'm a new creation, baby,
The world can't bring me down.

You think what' Why the rut'
'Cause if you're towing the line, line, line those days are through,
You know it says it right here, right here,
Take a good look at this intent,
No, you're no accident,
Why let life get you confused'

Don't let anybody tell you you're nobody.

I got a revelation: you're a new creation, baby,
The world can't bring you down,
I got a revelation: you've been elevated, baby,
The world can't bring you down.

Big screen tells you, "You gotta look this way; you got no beauty beyond what you display,"
But don't they get it'
It's what's inside you, so take your place and don't ever hide your face.

All those fashion victims seem so aggravated,
Going with the flow is very overrated.

I got a revelation: you're a new creation, baby,
The world can't bring you down,
I got a revelation: you've been elevated, baby,
The world can't bring you down.

The world can't bring you down, (down, down, down, down, down)
The world can't bring you down, (down, down, down, down, down)
The world can't bring you down, (down, down, down, down, down)
The world can't bring you down, (down, down, down, down, down)
The world can't bring you down.
