\addlyrics {
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 and 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
