Tree Of Life lyrics - You Can't Take My Life Away

You Can’t Take My Life Away

You can’t take my life away

You can’t take it away

You may as well try and punch the sun

Or grab the wind with your grubby little hand, but you’re getting none

You can tell your lies like the barrel of a gun

But you got no bullets in the chamber to shoot so I ain’t gonna run

You can try to kick the chair out from under my feet

I know you’re thinking when I fall with the noose around my neck it’ll be my defeat

But to your surprise I wasn’t there on the chair at all

I was havin’ a ball, never takin’ a fall, never missin’ a beat (I had someone to meet)

And I now I know no matter how you scream and yell

I’m like Johnny B Goode I can send you away just like ringin’ a bell (ding ding)

And now your great big voice is so tiny and small

Now wait a little bitty minute, it’s not there at all

You can’t take my life away

You can’t take it away

I’m ready to run, so unopposed

Cuz the river flows and I can see the light like a cock that crows

I’m ready to fly, in the wind that blows

I found the fountain of youth, the more I see the truth the more my confidence grows

And here comes the dawn with its radiant rays

Like the flight of a bird or God’s indelible word you can’t take it away

And as the light fills the sky with a holy blaze

I can see there’s nothing in the world that could really every make me afraid

And now I live like wave of the churning sea

You can try to bring me down, make me drown,

But I’m only ever gonna be free

And now I live, like a distant star

So far above where you could ever be, as if you really are

I’m not afraid of you no more

I’m not afraid of you at all

I’m not afraid of you no more

You used to seem so big and bad

But you gave the best you had

And when it all was said and done

You couldn’t hurt anyone

You tried with all of your might

To start a horrible fight

But you didn’t have it in you to destroy the light

Cuz it was shining in the darkness but you could comprehend

That God’s love lasts till the end
