You can take my riches - you can take them first
they are mere distractions - false symbols of worth
you can take the pride of life - i've got a lot to give
you can steal my dreams away - i don't need them to live
but you can never take my soul
You can take my freedom - it's just a state of mind
you can leave me helpless naked and blind
you can take my hands and tie them bloodtight around my back
you can break my bones 'til the sunlight turns black
but you can never take my soul
Peter walked on water - paul regained his sight
and the face stephen glowed with burning light
and this flesh-born blindness
makes me stumble makes me fall
and i am yearning for the end of it all
you can never take my soul
