You Can'T Take the Sky From Me
Take the land whereupon I cannot stand
take the blue below
drain the sea
but you cannot take the sky from me
take my freedom and take my rights
take my soul and take my life
clip my wings and take my eyes
take the wind flowing through my bones
banish me to the beaten road
as I cry and as I die
I might long for a longer life
but as long as you cannot take the sky from me,
you could take the birds and their song
in the place where I belong,
I could die a happy soul
as alive as I'll ever be
you can never take the sky from me
