You Can'T Take God

You can take God out of our schools,
and make praying against the rules.

You can ban athletes from praying before they play, 
because it infringes on your rights you say.

You can inspect every courtroom and hall,
tear down God's commandments from the wall.

You can rewrite the pledge to the flag someday; 
even reprint our money if you have your way.

You can remove God's name from almost everything you see, 
however you can't take God out of me.
