Lyrics
This road is dark
I see a spark
I see some lights out in the distance
Can they hear my heart…beat?
Can they see my weakness?
Do they know my hurt?
An easy target am I the prey for
The circlin’ birds
Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
And if I die before I wake
I pray the Lord my soul to take
But if I live another day
I’ll rise and face my enemies
My heart on my sleeve
My feet on the ground
I’ve come too far for backin’ down
The devils I’ve been seein’
The lies that they’ve been preachin’
Can’t stop me from believin’
The coldest of the seasons that break my heart to pieces
Can’t stop me from believin’
Can’t stop me from believin’
Can’t stop me from believin’
One to make me doubt
Another to make me fear
At every high and every low they whisper in my ear
They tell me that I’m not enough to plot the atmosphere
Or fill me up with thoughts that puff me up like I’m veneer
The dark may come against me til the day I die
Only one of us is gettin’ out of here alive
I’m standin’ on the truth against a thousand lies
Only one of us is gettin’ out of here alive
It’s no mystery missed on me, oh no
No eye has ever seen
We won’t make an apology
We put our faith in somethin’ that our eyes have never seen
No matter how much they hurt me
I still believe
And even when life is perfect
I still believe
I’ve already lived to see the day where the One who gives takes away
And after it all I’m here to say
I still believe

Meaning & Inspiration
‘Can’t Stop Me’ presents belief as a steady response to fear, accusation, pain, and uncertainty. The opening images of a dark road and distant light establish vulnerability, while the prayer before sleep places life and death under God’s care. Rather than denying weakness, the song describes a faith that remains when hostile voices raise doubt or inflate pride. Its repeated declaration, ‘I still believe,’ becomes the central confession, holding together endurance, humility, and hope.
The lyrics also contrast visible trouble with confidence in what has not been seen. That language recalls biblical teaching about faith beyond sight, while the line about the One who gives and takes away closely echoes Job’s worship amid loss. The result is not a promise that suffering disappears. It is a declaration that truth can anchor a believer through opposition, changing circumstances, and the possibility of death, with trust in God outlasting both fear and self-reliance.
