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...
