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...
