THEY CAN'T TAKE AWAY THE MUSIC
Grandma warned me someday we'd be paying for the water we drink
She said I'm just an old woman but I know about these kinds of things
Why someday they'll be charging us four dollars for a gallon of gasoline
You mark my words before it's over they'll try to charge us to breath
There ain't much in this old life that's free
But they can't take away the music
God gave you a voice honey use it
Write the melody any way you choose it
Once you sing it out loud they can not take it
They can't take away the music
Remember what I'm telling you today cause it's the truth
The only thing that separates you from me is youth
The only thing separating you from all your dreams is you
There was a time child when I had big dreams too
She took my face in her trembling hands and she wiped away my tears
She said don't let the thought of failing slow you down, don't you let it keep you here
Dry your eyes go and chase your dreams child before they disappear
She said fear is an awful thing to fear, fear is an awful thing to fear
But they can't take away the music
God gave you a voice honey use it
Write the melody any way you choose it
Once you sing it out loud they can not take it
They can't take away the music
