They Can't Take Away Our Music Lyrics

There's a feeling shared today

By the people whose freedom

Has been taken away

And as in the past

When times were wrong

The common folks

Come together in song

How will we win

With what will we fight

We hope with this song

Our world we will unite

Oh, there's one thing that I'm sure

It's so proud and it's so pure

And it comes from deep within

It's got no hair, it's got no skin

As we travel far and near

We bring the world for you to hear

And the message that we bring

Is alive in the word we sing

And no matter how it make you feel

We got something they can't steal

(CHORUS)

No, they can't, no, they can't

No, they can't take away our music

No, they can't, no, they can't

No, they can't take away our music

In the ghetto, it gets cold

But we've got something

To warm our souls

Like the blanket of our fate

Keeps us covered when we shake

Though they take our brother's live

And deny his given right

Yes, the message will be heard

As the four winds spread the word

And our spirit, they can't break

Cause we got power to communicate, yeah

No, they can't, no, they can't

No, they can't take away our music

No, they can't, no, they can't

Say they can't take away our music

Lord, no, they can't, no, they can't

Hey, they can't take our music

Music, music, sing it for me

Sing it for me, sing it with me

(They can take away our lives)

Come on, come on

(But they can't take our music)

Music is yours and music is mine

Is mine, is mine, is mine

(They can take away our lives)

There was a lady one dayEric Burdon & War - They Can't Take Away Our Music - http://motolyrics.com/eric-burdon-and-war/they-cant-take-away-our-music-lyrics.html

I bet you don't know her name

(But they can't take our music)

Do you remember Billie Holliday

Billie Holliday sang the blues

(They can take away our lives)

She may be dead but she's alive today

(But they can't take our music)

Do you remember Charlie Parker

Sing the blues, sing the blues

Sing the blues

(They can take away our lives)

Jimi Hendrix, Sammy Cooke

Elmore James play the blues

For you, they played

It's all for you, yeah

(But they can't take our music)

Music is yours, it's mine

It's yours, sing it now

(They can take away our lives)

It made me laugh and it made me cry

(But they can't take our music)

Crying, crying, little baby Janis

Cried for you, yeah

(They can take away our lives)

Remember Jimi Hendrix too, Lord

(But they can't take our music)

Sam Cooke now put his message in

My book, my book, it's your book

It's everybody's book

(They can take away our lives)

Music is fine, music is all right

(But they can't take our music)

All right with me, yeah

Come on, come on

Sing it for me, sing it for me

(They can take away our lives)

Sing it for me, sing it just

Everybody, come on

(But they can't take our music)

Get up on your feet now and

Stomp your feet, clap your hands

(They can take away our lives)

Sing it to your man, sing it to your woman

Sing it to your baby, sing it to the sky

(But they can't take our music)

Sing it to the air, sing it to the ground

Sing it to the Earth, my, my, my, my

Come on (they can take away our lives)

They can't take it away

They can't take it away

(But they can't take our music)
