They've been trying to silence me
Trying to dim the light in me
I was keeping quiet 'til now
Suddenly, my eyes can see
Something came alive in me
Now there's no keeping me down
Ohhhhhh
Ohh
Let 'em know you can't take my song
I found a joy that feels like home
Can't live without it
Gives me the hope to carry on
No doubt about it
I've got a story, it's my testimony
I'm gonna shout it
You can't take my song (You can't take my song)
My song (You can't take my song)
I can see the change in me
Jesus and some therapy
It's okay to ask for some help
Don't have to be perfect
Just know that you're worth it
Best person to be is yourself
I found a joy that feels like home
Can't live without it
Gives me the hope to carry on
No doubt about it
I've got a story, it's my testimony
And I'm gonna shout it
You can't take my song (You can't take my song)
My song (You can't take my song)
My song (You can't take my song)
My song (You can't take my song)
I found a joy that feels like home
Can't live without it
Gives me the hope to carry on
No doubt about it
I've got a story, it's my testimony
And I'm gonna shout it
And you can't take my song
