You Can't Take My Song Away

My strings how they'll jangle

My voice how it will rise

In a feathery tangle

And meet the truth above this world, among the skies

More powerful than riches

More precious than your gold

Holier than your churches

Bewildering as desert cold

You can lock me in jail

Cheat me of all I own

Tie me to the rails

Leave me forsaken and alone

But you can't take my song away...
