This song was released during a time when no one dared to talk about depression, racism, and other mental health issues. Mariah helped us through her song. This song was so special back then and still is today.
th-cam.com/video/A5btAlBv5BM/w-d-xo.html Still the most sought after and listened to holiday song! Others have tried, but no one will be able to bring the spirit of the holidays to this level! Congratulations, Mariah Carey! Congratulations to her fans!👏🎼🎻
This is so true....she has saved my life over and over and I came back to this song today because I needed to be reminded of my power and restore my faith through so much discouragement.
I was lucky enough to be apart of this music video. I am the Asian girl in the beginning. It is so beautiful and heartwarming to see how much this song has made an impact on people to this day. Mariah deserves all the credit in the world for her music. This song will FOREVER HOLD a special place in my heart.
So happy to hear from you. I’ve never listened to this song nor seen the video clip all these years. I just heard it twice or 3 times randomly. Then today I was feeling down praying for a sign, then this song popped into my mind out of the blue. I went and check the music video and instantly got inspired again. Know that your brief appearance touched my soul. Thank you ❤❤
Thanks Nicole for being brave enough to tell how you felt back then through this MASTERPIECE... Your message certainly helped me and many others worlwide who experienced tough times. We'd love to know the whole story of you ending up involved in this incredible project with Mariah 🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤ Warm regards from a very distant place called Chile 🇨🇱
I wish my son Anthony could have listened to this song , it might have changed his mind ….R.I.P. Anthony Thomas 02/29/1996 - 06/18/2018 Gone but not forgotten I Love You !!! Love Always Mom ♥♥♥
Listen... please do. I listened to this song from High School and it gave me assurance and reminded me of all the good things I was❤ I agree...it is perfect for an anti-bullying anthem❤
I started listening to the song in 2003 and I'm still here today as a mom of 2 and it still speaks to me😊 I was bullied by my in-laws today and it restored me.
@@mascarinasjrloretoc.7894 yahhh both are the queens of vocalist. Imagine we get When You Believe 2.0 soulful/Ballad from Mariah ft Ariana . Chileee i'm delulu right now 😭
very right , i got to know her music in 2017 but till now my life changed ,my confidence, i have hope ,am resilient ,i love mariah and eternally i will
Wait people seriously believe that this was stolen? No bby Mariah writes her own songs and she wrote this in 1999 thats 2 decades ago please think first. Plus the lady said 500 million views not 5 million. This is a really special song to Mariah, and the writing style is very Mariah why would yall even think she would steal this?
I can't forget the first time I heard this song.. it was 1999, I was lying on bed, sick and thinking about my life, live in a crappy place, new in the city and kinda not fitting in at my workplace.. I saw a cassette tape on the table and played it.. I can still remember that after hearing this song, I cried and told myself I can get over and fight with all the challenges in my life... And it happened.. It got me through any hardships.. It is a gospel song for me as well as Mariah's other gospel songs that helped me through the years... That is why whatever people say about Mariah, they can never take away her soul in music.. deep, soulful, really a God's instrument...
@Class XI A Surviving. Enjoying life and laughing problems that comes along the way..i cry if I need to but always look on the brighter side.. what about u? I hope all is well. 🙏❤️
Actually yea I’m a mezzo-soprano and I have no vocal training. Yess I won’t have the STAMINA like her voice but I’m able to mimic riffs and runs which is a great advantage for me 🤷🏾♂️
Yes she is very religious. She mentions God in Hero, Make It Happen, and Outside, wrote Anytime You Need A Friend in the perspective of God singing to you that whenever you need a friend, He's always there, and has a whole song of her thanking God called My Saving Grace. That's why she always gets up everytime the world tries to put her down.
For a long time I’ve heard that Mariah songs helped people through rough times, I guess I never took that seriously until it happened next to me, my sister is going through a tough time in her life, she’s feeling depressed and anxious, she started at this new job months ago and she’s having a hard time there, feeling inexperienced, left out and bullied, she’s having anxiety attacks and she cries a lot. One day she was really down and I started singing this song in a humorous way, playing with her, it was the weirdest thing, she teared up, the words matched EXACTLY with what she was going through and what she needed to hear, almost as if Mariah knew. I know that’s impossible and it might sound silly, but I think that shows Mariah’s talent as a songwriter and her ability to connect with people.
"Can't Take That Away" They can say Anything they want to say Try to bring me down But I will not allow Anyone to succeed Hanging clouds over me And they can try Hard to make me feel that I Don't matter at all But I refuse to falter In what I believe Or lose faith in my dreams' Cause there's There's a light in me That shines brightly They can try But they can't take that away from me From me No no no Oh they they can do Anything they want to you If you let them in But they won't ever win If you cling to your pride And just push them aside See I I have learned There's an inner peace I own Something in my soul That they can not possess So I won't be afraid And the darkness will fade 'Cause there's There's a light in me That shines brightly Yes they can try But they can't take that away from me No They can't take this Precious love I'll always have inside me Certainly the Lord will guide me where I need to go They can say Anything they want to say Try to break me down But I won't face the ground I will rise steadily Sailing out of their reach Oh Lord they do try Hard to make me feel that I Don't matter at all But I'll refuse to falter In what I believe Or lose faith in my dreams 'Cause there's a light in me That shines brightly Yes They can try but they can't take that away from me from me No no no
Can't believe this song is 20 years old! I remember buying the album on my lunch break in high school, then I had a math test that I couldn't focus on cause I was shit at it but mainly cause I couldn't wait for the end of the school day to go home and listen to the album. I'll always remember skipping Heartbreaket to listen to Can't Take That Away straight away. That was the first new album by Mariah that I ever bought as a fan. So glad that she's still around making music!
This is the deepest and most meaningful song I've ever heard in my life. It makes me cry every time. Mariah will always be the best. No one comes close to her.
Dear Tiktok people please listen: you are not old enough to criticize or give an opinion on what you eat every day so, instead of coming here to accuse Mariah of being a thief, you should know this song alone is older than all of you. This song was written by her and Diane Warren in 1999 . Educate yourselves ok?
I used to think that people were lying when they say this song saved their life until it happened to my very own self. I was suicidal, thinking about people's perceptions towards myself. I faced a horrible depression but surprisingly, her songs, her voice, her lyrics, cured almost everything if not all. Thank God for her. 😌
@Fareez Haiqal I am sorry about your depression.. hope this can strengthen you God's promise in the Bible (Philippians 4:6-7) "Do not be anxious over anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication along with thanksgiving, let your petitions be made known to God;7 and the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and your mental powers by means of Christ Jesus."
Came here after her NYE performance. Those lyrics are so relevant today. People and the media try to bring her down,they say her career is over... Her performance was a mess but don't count Mariah out. She made a comeback in 2005. She can do it again
Ultima214 I'm just tired of this negativity surrounding Mariah those last 4 years. People love to hate her and I can't fathom why. She did nothing wrong, she just does what she loves the most, making good music. Reading the comments on her NYE performance depresses me. They love watching her fail. They did the same to Whitney and Michael until they died and suddenly they were loved again. I'll never stop supporting Mariah because her music is my saving grace ❤
I think this song is the most underrated in views and ratings, I know the LAMB knows this song. The fact, this is one of her most difficult song to sing.
They can say anything they want to say Try to bring me down But I will not allow anyone to succeed Hanging clouds over me And they can try hard to make me feel That I don't matter at all But I refuse to falter doing what I believe Or lose faith in my dreams 'Cause there's, there's a light in me That shines brightly They can try But they can't take that away from me They, they can do anything they want to you If you let them in But they won't ever win If you cling to your pride And just push them aside Say I, I have learned there's an inner peace I own Something in my soul That they cannot possess So I won't be afraid And the darkness will fade 'Cause there's, there's a light in me That shines brightly They can try But they can't take that away from me No They can't take this Precious love I'll always have inside me Certainly the Lord will guide me Where I need to go They can say anything they want to say Try to break me down But I won't face the ground I will rise steadily Sailing out of their reach Oh Lord They do try hard to make me feel That I don't matter at all But I refuse to falter doing what I believe Or lose faith in my dreams 'Cause there's a light in me That shines brightly Yes, they can try But they can't take that away from me From me Traduzir para o português
I'm living a nightmare because of anxiety and panic attacks. And i cry whenever i listen this song, this song has a powerful message. This song is really beautiful. I can really feel every word . Thank God we have so many beautiful songs by mariah carey, she definetely changed my life. She helped me to believe in myself with her music. WE CAN MAKE IT HAPPEN!!!! January 2022: I forgot I posted this but I’m happy to say it’s been almost a year and half since the last time I had a panic attack and anxiety 🙏🏻
Glad to hear your update, i was gonna ask. 🙏 Stay healthy and happy, i was going thru that too a year ago; isolation was really hard on me, but I'm also doing mostly better now. 🦋
I wish miley Cyrus who said that everything Mariah embodies is ‘all about her’ and ‘self indulgent’ would watch this. Those are true tears. I believe her struggles personally, but also her understanding of society and of mental health. This was just before her bipolar diagnosis too. Truly an amazing woman
Miley made such an ignorant comment based off her own assumption. She clearly doesn't know Mariah as an artist and based it off the diva persona she puts out. Shame on her.
Lol the most funny part is that miley is the one who is always on the news for her private life and not for her career...some people are so annoying...she only can wish one day to have the talent and the career of MARIAH!
i am one of the bullying victims this songs makes me feel new strength.. yeah can't take my life away from me... i will fight until the fucking last drop of my blood.. i will never give up until the end i will find the reason to live.
My parents always discouraged me and They told me that I can’t sing.and I will never be a singer.I Finally convinced them to Take me to a professional singing teacher and She told me:that I have a really Nice timbre and she would be more than pleased to work with me.After years of being told that I can’t sing and that I suck I was Finally told that I can do it.I knew it inside my heart that I can’t be wrong.Remember :No one know What’s inside of you except of you.Nobody will never Take away from you What’s yours.There’s a burning passion in your heart There for a reason.Lord never gives you a dream and a passion if He knows that you are not capabile of doing it.You just need ambition,discipline and faith in you.Work hard and never ever give up!
I’m really thankful that I’m not the only one I love to sing and people tell me I can see but they began jealous and didn’t like me I just wish that people would like but this comment was so powerful I still have a bad state of mind but I love this song I just can’t live a day in school with out being bullied of teased but thank you so much!!!
This is the first time I cried while watching a music video. This song really gets me. I really love Mariah and i wish I was born during 1990 when her career started. I am now 18 and I am never ashamed to listen to her old but gold songs. I don't give a fuck about them. Mariah is ❤
This song saved me from suicidal thoughts alot of times, many wont understand the mentality of bipolar people but this song this song holds a really strong grip to these dangerous thoughts❤ which i thank so much ❤ #thankyoumariah #mariahstheme #rise
@Varinava Bola as a mental disorder survivor and still struggling I understand your situation.. there is a promise from God in the Bible that can strengthen you (Philippians 4:6-7) "Do not be anxious over anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication along with thanksgiving, let your petitions be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and your mental powers by means of Christ Jesus."
This song is for my mom. Drug addict for most of her life. She has been hurt, staying on the streets i tried to help but the world has consumed her. She always quotes from this song and it brings me to my knees. This song keeps her in my heart.
Mariah writes her own songs unlike other singers. The tiktoker already said it was not Mariah and not a female artist stop accusing the greatest singer-songwriter of stealing, she’s not jlo.
We always compliment Mariah on her high notes, as we should, but can i get some love for these low notes in this song. Her low notes are full of warmth and insane! Wow!
-LYRICS- They can say, Anything they want to say Try to bring me down, but I will not Allow anyone to succeed hanging clouds over me, And they can try How to make me feel that I Don't matter at all But I refuse to falter in what I believe or loose faith in my dreams 'Cause there's There's a light in me That shines brightly They can try But they can't take that away from me From me Oh oh No, no, no, no, no, no Ay Oh they They can do Anything they want to you If you let them in But they won't ever win If you cling to you pride, and just push them aside, See I, I have learned There's an inner peace I own Something in my soul that they can not possess Oh I won't be afraid and the darkness will fade 'Cause there's There's light in me me That shines brightly, yes They can try But they can't take that away from me No, oh They can't take this Precious love I'll always have inside me, Certainly the Lord will guide me where I need to go Woah, woah They can say Anything they want to say Try to bring me down But I won't face the ground I will rise steadily sailing out of their reach Although they do try How to make me feel that I, Don't matter at all, But I refuse to fall, Tell me what I believe or loose faith in my dreams 'Cause there's a light in me That shines brightly yes They can try but they can't take that away from Me From me No, no, no, no, no, no
This why artists like Mariah Carey made the late 90s early 00s such a great time for music because she added variety to her music and she was REAL, she showed skin in her videos but it was tastefully done unlike now. She had the fun hip hop and r&B vibe music for the clubs and the parties but also had powerful ballads with meaning and deep message to them. Now its all hip hop and twerk crap with fake women with fake ass, that have no added value to society but promoting stupidity and vulgarity to society.
This will forever be my anthem as a victim of bullying and discrimination. Mariah wrote this song for herself but also for all POC, the gays and the entire LGBTQ+ community and everyone who they did wrong. Mariah saved us
I remember when this song came out . She was getting beat up by her critics. She answer back with this song . I can relate to the lyrics they can’t take that away from me .
I can't believe people are STILL attacking Mariah after Kileza already confirmed who stole her song. Mariah is completely original and she knows what it's like to be stolen from ( Sorry JLo fans)
This song has seen me though my darkest times into the light back and again. Words will never appreciate how important this song is to all of us… whether you’re a lamb or not.
I was on the verge of suicide. Because i failed me. My parents. I was a dissapointment. But when i hear this song. I felt something in my heart that opened. Theres something that i can do. That i still have some purpose and reasons to live. Thank you for this uplifting song.
I am sorry about your situation.. hope this can strengthen you God's promise in the Bible (Philippians 4:6-7) "Do not be anxious over anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication along with thanksgiving, let your petitions be made known to God;7 and the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and your mental powers by means of Christ Jesus."
HER low notes are just so 😱😱😱 then as well as her runs,key changes and her power belts are just unique and hard to reach for those singers who wants to make a version of this song 😍😍😍 #QUEEN MC...
There is AT LEAST one song talks about believing in yourself/social issues/non-love from Mariah's 90s albums that helped kids who didn't feel belong back in the day!
This is not only Mariahs Theme song , this is my theme also . Love you forever mimi thanks for making music that makes me cry , laugh .. youre a icon .
My mother was half black and half Native American. She was so beautiful that even the racist in the Jim Crow area didn't bother her or call her the N-Word. They gave her books. She was the first in her family to finish high school and married a minister and raised high-achieving children.
Born in 1992. Turning 30 this year and this song is so fitting for this time in my life! Love you Mariah. She helped me as a little girl and still helps me as a woman now!
This song helped and continously helps me to overcome all the struggles and bullying that I am encountering in life. Thank you so much Mariah for this wonderful masterpiece. Pls continue writing songs that'll inspire a lot more of this generation.
This song was released during a time when no one dared to talk about depression, racism, and other mental health issues. Mariah helped us through her song. This song was so special back then and still is today.

One of the most underrated single of all time. Sadly, the song was never officially released as a single, but this is the gem of the album.
"Can't Take That Away"
They can say
Anything they want to say
Try to bring me down
But I will not allow
Anyone to succeed
Hanging clouds over me
And they can try
Hard to make me feel that I
Don't matter at all
But I refuse to falter
In what I believe
Or lose faith in my dreams'
Cause there's
There's a light in me
That shines brightly
They can try
But they can't take that away from me
From me
No no no
Oh they they can do
Anything they want to you
If you let them in
But they won't ever win
If you cling to your pride
And just push them aside
See I I have learned
There's an inner peace I own
Something in my soul
That they can not possess
So I won't be afraid
And the darkness will fade
'Cause there's
There's a light in me
That shines brightly
Yes they can try
But they can't take that away from me
No
They can't take this
Precious love I'll always have inside me
Certainly the Lord will guide me where I need to go
They can say
Anything they want to say
Try to break me down
But I won't face the ground
I will rise steadily
Sailing out of their reach
Oh Lord they do try
Hard to make me feel that I
Don't matter at all
But I'll refuse to falter
In what I believe
Or lose faith in my dreams
'Cause there's a light in me
That shines brightly
Yes
They can try but they can't take that away from me
from me
No no no
Up
Up
This song kept me alive, from all the abuse I was experiencing at a young age.
Keep shining!!
🙏🏽
Can't believe this song is 20 years old! I remember buying the album on my lunch break in high school, then I had a math test that I couldn't focus on cause I was shit at it but mainly cause I couldn't wait for the end of the school day to go home and listen to the album. I'll always remember skipping Heartbreaket to listen to Can't Take That Away straight away. That was the first new album by Mariah that I ever bought as a fan.
So glad that she's still around making music!
i know ur pain ( math ) :(
love your story ❤️
So dedicated the song to your math exam that's why? 😂😂😂
Why would you skip Heartbreaker tho 💔
@@shinywooper5988 just cause I couldn't wait to hear new songs, i love Heartbreaker :)
This is the deepest and most meaningful song I've ever heard in my life. It makes me cry every time. Mariah will always be the best. No one comes close to her.
It’s so funny that people think their fav even holds a candle to her 💀😂
@@YourMom-mh9yi Whitney and Celine ate her up...
@@YourMom-mh9yi yup not even mariah can sing this song fully live without actually either dodging all the high notes or lipping them.
@@earthkeeper1 obsessed fan
@@YourMom-mh9yi nope i dont really like the song obsessed. So no im not an obsessed fan
Dear Tiktok people please listen: you are not old enough to criticize or give an opinion on what you eat every day so, instead of coming here to accuse Mariah of being a thief, you should know this song alone is older than all of you. This song was written by her and Diane Warren in 1999 . Educate yourselves ok?
!!!!!
Do you have a link for the video?
Omg! Thanks so much for letting them know these facts! 🤘💁
Melanie Souza whats this whole tiktok thing abt(??) someone pls educate me
kinda ageist but this is the reason why communication and research is a need.
I love her discography, but these types of songs have a special place in my heart.
I used to think that people were lying when they say this song saved their life until it happened to my very own self. I was suicidal, thinking about people's perceptions towards myself. I faced a horrible depression but surprisingly, her songs, her voice, her lyrics, cured almost everything if not all. Thank God for her. 😌
She is an angel on earth
@Fareez Haiqal I am sorry about your depression.. hope this can strengthen you God's promise in the Bible (Philippians 4:6-7) "Do not be anxious over anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication along with thanksgiving, let your petitions be made known to God;7 and the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and your mental powers by means of Christ Jesus."
It always gets better. Please stay with us. You are stronger than you know.
Insert I can make through the rain
Came here after her NYE performance. Those lyrics are so relevant today. People and the media try to bring her down,they say her career is over... Her performance was a mess but don't count Mariah out. She made a comeback in 2005. She can do it again
Ultima214 I'm just tired of this negativity surrounding Mariah those last 4 years. People love to hate her and I can't fathom why. She did nothing wrong, she just does what she loves the most, making good music. Reading the comments on her NYE performance depresses me. They love watching her fail. They did the same to Whitney and Michael until they died and suddenly they were loved again. I'll never stop supporting Mariah because her music is my saving grace ❤
That was stage management.
I think this song is the most underrated in views and ratings, I know the LAMB knows this song. The fact, this is one of her most difficult song to sing.
1475n0va her most difficult and dont forget that she wrote this song together with Diane Warren. you can really hear diane's style in the melodies.
I love singing this song esp bridge at the last part
It is so beautiful. I ever knew it before and I've listened to Mariah's music since like 2004, maybe earlier
It has more views now because of those trash tokers who are nothing but ignorant but at the end of the day helped us get more views 🤩💅
They can say anything they want to say
Try to bring me down
But I will not allow anyone to succeed
Hanging clouds over me
And they can try hard to make me feel
That I don't matter at all
But I refuse to falter doing what I believe
Or lose faith in my dreams
'Cause there's, there's a light in me
That shines brightly
They can try
But they can't take that away from me
They, they can do anything they want to you
If you let them in
But they won't ever win
If you cling to your pride
And just push them aside
Say
I, I have learned there's an inner peace I own
Something in my soul
That they cannot possess
So I won't be afraid
And the darkness will fade
'Cause there's, there's a light in me
That shines brightly
They can try
But they can't take that away from me
No
They can't take this
Precious love
I'll always have inside me
Certainly the Lord will guide me
Where I need to go
They can say anything they want to say
Try to break me down
But I won't face the ground
I will rise steadily
Sailing out of their reach
Oh Lord
They do try hard to make me feel
That I don't matter at all
But I refuse to falter doing what I believe
Or lose faith in my dreams
'Cause there's a light in me
That shines brightly
Yes, they can try
But they can't take that away from me
From me

I'm living a nightmare because of anxiety and panic attacks. And i cry whenever i listen this song, this song has a powerful message. This song is really beautiful. I can really feel every word . Thank God we have so many beautiful songs by mariah carey, she definetely changed my life. She helped me to believe in myself with her music. WE CAN MAKE IT HAPPEN!!!!
January 2022: I forgot I posted this but I’m happy to say it’s been almost a year and half since the last time I had a panic attack and anxiety 🙏🏻
@Notorious Riah yup 2 weeks later and i feel better now. It's been almost 2 weeks without anxiety. GOD IS GREAT🙏
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
iloveyou.
Glad to hear your update, i was gonna ask. 🙏 Stay healthy and happy, i was going thru that too a year ago; isolation was really hard on me, but I'm also doing mostly better now. 🦋
Hey, I'm glad to hear that. I wish you the best
"Lord will guide me where I need to go" 😢 God loves us
3:09 most dramatic turn and movement I've ever seen in a music video, heck in life hahaha we love you Mariah!!!
LOOOOOL
Aww Mariah!
hahaha.. true..
LMAO
HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA
Her music like a medicine treatment for my depression...
I wish miley Cyrus who said that everything Mariah embodies is ‘all about her’ and ‘self indulgent’ would watch this. Those are true tears. I believe her struggles personally, but also her understanding of society and of mental health. This was just before her bipolar diagnosis too. Truly an amazing woman
Miley made such an ignorant comment based off her own assumption. She clearly doesn't know Mariah as an artist and based it off the diva persona she puts out. Shame on her.
Who is Miley Cyrus? I don't know her hahaha
She said that? Wow
Laurie Ann Garza
Lol the most funny part is that miley is the one who is always on the news for her private life and not for her career...some people are so annoying...she only can wish one day to have the talent and the career of MARIAH!
Haters can't take away the fact that Mariah Carey is the best singer ever existed in this world. Timeless and forever in our hearts. ❤
How can people say this woman is rude or evil. She has been through so much and has always gave her all to her music she is so misunderstood.
Agreed with you
She so legendary she puts 1000% into her music she deserves the world
This helps with the struggles in life and depression I face right now. This lifts my spirits
Me too, I play this song almost everyday for inspiration.
🙏🏻
Oh yes.
Mariahs high notes always give me chills😍👏
Too bad she didn't hit any in this song
Yeah, the presence she has in a lot of her songs is quite amazing.
I cry a lot with Mariah's songs...I believe the most beautiful voice on earth
Same 😢❤❤
@@tinakatz3991 yea its hard to remain dry eyed with Mariah's songs ❤❤
i am one of the bullying victims this songs makes me feel new strength.. yeah can't take my life away from me... i will fight until the fucking last drop of my blood.. i will never give up until the end i will find the reason to live.
be strong.. u can make it happen.. because there's a hero lies in you. dont give a shit to those peoples

Never give up sis
I struggled with Bipolar disorder my whole life without knowing and this song came in the right time. Thank you ♥
God bless you ❤🙏🏽
My parents always discouraged me and They told me that I can’t sing.and I will never be a singer.I Finally convinced them to Take me to a professional singing teacher and She told me:that I have a really Nice timbre and she would be more than pleased to work with me.After years of being told that I can’t sing and that I suck I was Finally told that I can do it.I knew it inside my heart that I can’t be wrong.Remember :No one know What’s inside of you except of you.Nobody will never Take away from you What’s yours.There’s a burning passion in your heart There for a reason.Lord never gives you a dream and a passion if He knows that you are not capabile of doing it.You just need ambition,discipline and faith in you.Work hard and never ever give up!
Appreciated your comment, so very inspiring. Keep doing you! 🙌❤
How is your singing now, abd can i hear your singing please, no judgement.
good luck!
I’m really thankful that I’m not the only one I love to sing and people tell me I can see but they began jealous and didn’t like me I just wish that people would like but this comment was so powerful I still have a bad state of mind but I love this song I just can’t live a day in school with out being bullied of teased but thank you so much!!!
💖💖💖 also, remember me when ur famous luv 🥰🥰😻
This is the first time I cried while watching a music video. This song really gets me. I really love Mariah and i wish I was born during 1990 when her career started. I am now 18 and I am never ashamed to listen to her old but gold songs. I don't give a fuck about them. Mariah is ❤
I love all songs of mariah I love you mariah

Very true!!! Mariah is more than a Legend!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️
YES
One of the most beautiful songs when you struggle with self image…
Mariah has always saved
Me through her music
I love her
Surely Mariah sings this to herself after the 2017 NYE. Because no one can take her light away!
Gio Caliguia no one!
Gio Caliguia (cue Alicia Keys)
Even in NY New Year sound problem she was beautiful. What a fighter!
She bounce back last year.Mariah slays
This song saved me from suicidal thoughts alot of times, many wont understand the mentality of bipolar people but this song this song holds a really strong grip to these dangerous thoughts❤ which i thank so much ❤
#thankyoumariah

Varinava Bola I am glad she shun the light for u
@Varinava Bola as a mental disorder survivor and still struggling I understand your situation.. there is a promise from God in the Bible that can strengthen you (Philippians 4:6-7) "Do not be anxious over anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication along with thanksgiving, let your petitions be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and your mental powers by means of Christ Jesus."

I attempted suicide too a years ago I was planning to hang myself in the ceiling but I fail now I won’t give up it’s a long story
mariah writes her own songs unlike some others who like to discredit other huge amazing talented artists
This song is for my mom. Drug addict for most of her life. She has been hurt, staying on the streets i tried to help but the world has consumed her. She always quotes from this song and it brings me to my knees. This song keeps her in my heart.
marilyn monroe, elvis presley, beatles and mariah carey, they marked the history of humanity forever ... there is nothing greater ...
thank you ... 💙
Mariah writes her own songs unlike other singers. The tiktoker already said it was not Mariah and not a female artist stop accusing the greatest singer-songwriter of stealing, she’s not jlo.
"She's not JLo."
Facts, sis!
Lmaooo JLo is the real theft!
Girlonmw2 yup
Jwho?
We don't know her 😆
She is not just a singer but a genius artist which can make her own song and cure those with personal problem who listen to some of her songs.
this song reminds me not to lose faith despise all the hardships life throws at me🥰
I can't find harmony and melodies except in mariah and whitney
Right???!!! :D
What about Celine Dion??
Dydyndyn Dyn Well, you certainly haven't listened to much music...
Me too and celine😍
+Oscar Wang what does she have to do with this video?
Definately one of her best songs in terms of songwriting, a real work of art ❤
Federico Ariel Sánchez
Her amazing voice overshadowed her great song writing ability. She's underrated as a songwriter.
xxGuItArGiRLxx89 i dont think she is i think the right amount of credit for her songwriting abilities
This song really saved a lot of lives.
We always compliment Mariah on her high notes, as we should, but can i get some love for these low notes in this song. Her low notes are full of warmth and insane! Wow!
-LYRICS-
They can say,
Anything they want to say
Try to bring me down, but I will not
Allow anyone to succeed hanging clouds over me,
And they can try
How to make me feel that I
Don't matter at all
But I refuse to falter in what I believe or loose faith in my dreams
'Cause there's
There's a light in me
That shines brightly
They can try
But they can't take that away from me
From me
Oh oh
No, no, no, no, no, no
Ay
Oh they
They can do
Anything they want to you
If you let them in
But they won't ever win
If you cling to you pride, and just push them aside,
See I,
I have learned
There's an inner peace I own
Something in my soul that they can not possess
Oh I won't be afraid and the darkness will fade
'Cause there's
There's light in me me
That shines brightly, yes
They can try
But they can't take that away from me
No, oh
They can't take this
Precious love I'll always have inside me,
Certainly the Lord will guide me where I need to go
Woah, woah
They can say
Anything they want to say
Try to bring me down
But I won't face the ground
I will rise steadily sailing out of their reach
Although they do try
How to make me feel that I,
Don't matter at all,
But I refuse to fall,
Tell me what I believe or loose faith in my dreams
'Cause there's a light in me
That shines brightly yes
They can try but they can't take that away from
Me
From me
No, no, no, no, no, no

This why artists like Mariah Carey made the late 90s early 00s such a great time for music because she added variety to her music and she was REAL, she showed skin in her videos but it was tastefully done unlike now. She had the fun hip hop and r&B vibe music for the clubs and the parties but also had powerful ballads with meaning and deep message to them. Now its all hip hop and twerk crap with fake women with fake ass, that have no added value to society but promoting stupidity and vulgarity to society.
The same goes for Celine Dion, Whitney Houston and Tina Arena
Plus music all changed after 9/11. Pre 9/11 songs are awesome. All the good things are over because of September 11 2001
Last year i was diagnosed as HIV positive,
I was about to gave up, n I finally found n heard this song, and it saved my life,
Thanks Mariah
This song heals a negative feelings and depression 💖
it's already 2019 and this song is still the anthem of my life
This will forever be my anthem as a victim of bullying and discrimination. Mariah wrote this song for herself but also for all POC, the gays and the entire LGBTQ+ community and everyone who they did wrong. Mariah saved us
This song actually gives me a courage to step towards who i real want to be
I remember when this song came out . She was getting beat up by her critics.
She answer back with this song .
I can relate to the lyrics they can’t take that away from me .
Hello Shirley, how are you doing today.
This song will NEVER grow old.
I can't believe people are STILL attacking Mariah after Kileza already confirmed who stole her song. Mariah is completely original and she knows what it's like to be stolen from ( Sorry JLo fans)
As a gay lamb, this song is one of the best gifts Mariah has ever given me
*given us
Outside for me
This is what the rainbow album was meant ..its signify the LGBTQ Community...
Agree
This song has seen me though my darkest times into the light back and again. Words will never appreciate how important this song is to all of us… whether you’re a lamb or not.
not these tiktokers coming here saying she stole this song when she wrote it in 1999 😭😭
What? She even wrote this when she was teenager lol
Yeah I thought she just posted the video a few years ago, but wasn't the song in a previous album?

I was on the verge of suicide. Because i failed me. My parents. I was a dissapointment. But when i hear this song. I felt something in my heart that opened. Theres something that i can do. That i still have some purpose and reasons to live. Thank you for this uplifting song.

this song brings tears to me her voice god it's so beautiful 😭😭😭
There is AT LEAST one song talks about believing in yourself/social issues/non-love from Mariah's 90s albums that helped kids who didn't feel belong back in the day!
R.I.P Hydeia, you will be forever part of this song!🥹
This is not only Mariahs Theme song , this is my theme also . Love you forever mimi thanks for making music that makes me cry , laugh .. youre a icon .
My mother was half black and half Native American. She was so beautiful that even the racist in the Jim Crow area didn't bother her or call her the N-Word. They gave her books. She was the first in her family to finish high school and married a minister and raised high-achieving children.
I owe my life to this song, I am so grateful to Mariah and the songwriter.
Mariah Carey, with her vocal prowess and deeply meaningful songs, is truly a Diva. This song still resonates.
It was a HUGE hit in my country - Philippines..
THIS SONG IS FROM 1999 AND IT MEANS SO MUCH TO HER BUT YALL STUPID TIK TOK PPL ACCUSE HER FOR STEALING
Born in 1992. Turning 30 this year and this song is so fitting for this time in my life! Love you Mariah. She helped me as a little girl and still helps me as a woman now!
Im 92 too! And same. Saved me then, uplifts me further now❤
It is the power of the guardians that fight for love and justice. And she is one of them.
This song helped and continously helps me to overcome all the struggles and bullying that I am encountering in life. Thank you so much Mariah for this wonderful masterpiece. Pls continue writing songs that'll inspire a lot more of this generation.
Even Mariah's tears are perfect
Mariah Carey es Dios…Noviembre 2024..Desde Sevilla..
Mariah is so so so beautiful. She just glows.
