When the stars shine bright through the engine's trailAnd the dust of another world drops behindWhen my ship is free of the open skyThat's a damn good day to my way of mindThere's a barren planet you never can leaveThere's a rocky valley where we lost a warThere's a cross once hung round a soldier's neckThere's a man's faith died on Serenity's floorBut I stood my ground and I'll fly once moreThe last oath that I ever sworeTake my love, take my landTake me where I cannot standI don't care, I'm still freeYou can't take the sky from meTake me out into the blackTell 'em I ain't comin' backBurn the land and boil the seaYou can't take the sky from meYou can't take the sky from meWhen you see a man and he's standin' aloneWell you might just take him for an easy markAnd there's many a man has tried his handAnd there's worse than wolves in the borderland darkSongtexteFrom the savage men to the government houndsTry to take what's yours and tear you throughBut them that run with me got my backIt's a fool don't know that his family's his crewDon't tell me what I cannot doDon't think I've got to run from youTake my love, take my landTake me where I cannot standI don't care, I'm still freeYou can't take the sky from meTake me out into the blackTell 'em I ain't comin' backBurn the land and boil the seaYou can't take the sky from meYou can't take the sky from meWhen you've walked my road, when you've seen what I've seenWell you won't go talkin' 'bout righteous menYou'll know damn well why I want to keep to my skyNever cry 'neath nobody's heel againI've seen torment raked 'cross innocent soulsSeen sane men mad and good men dieI've been hounded, hated, married and trickedBeen tortured, cheated, shot and tiedYou won't see no tears when I say goodbyeI've still got my family and my FireflyTake my love, take my landTake me where I cannot standI don't care, I'm still freeYou can't take the sky from meTake me out into the blackTell 'em I ain't comin' backBurn the land and boil the seaYou can't take the sky from meYou can't take the sky from me Aus Songtexte Mania
