You Cannot Take My Freedom

You Cannot Take My Freedom

It was a black Tuesday in our nation’s life
When evil swooped from the sky
Black hearted vultures who came to destroy
It was freedom they sought to deny

Innocent people without thought or fear
Commandeered in this evil scheme
Snatched from the bosom of their loves
Because of a mad man’s evil dreams

Since that terrible day we’ve changed
We study every face that we see
Knowing that evil still threatens our life
And at times we'd just rather flee

But instead to those who would destroy
Though you threaten us everyday
We know you may kill our bodies
But you’ll never take freedom away
