Lyrics:

Take my love, take my land

Take me where I cannot stand

I don’t care, I’m still free

You can’t take the sky from me

Take me out to the black

Tell ‘em I ain’t coming back

Burn the land, boil the sea

You can’t take the sky from me

There’s no place I can be

Since I found Serenity

You can’t take the sky from me
