A Poem (Title Unknown)

February 8th, 2009

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

Have no place
I can be
Since I found Serenity
But you can’t take the sky from me
