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
