It had been along time since I had heard these words. It was long before I went through nasty divorce with my first wife, long before I was sent to Afghanistan, and way before all of our current political troubles or seeing an unarmed man take 2 to the chest and one to the head at the hands of the feds. The wife got me the first and only season of the show Fire Fly. When I heard the opening theme song, "The Ballad of Serenity" and remembered the words, I realized that no mater what happens in the near future, I am and will be a fee man, because "they can't take the sky from me."
So maybe these words below will be meaningless to some of you, depending on what kind of hand life has dealt you, or maybe they my just inspire you some to never give up on what is right, and just.
Take my love, take my land
Take me where I cannot stand
I don't care, I'm still free
You can't take the sky from me.
Take me out to the black
Tell them I ain't comin' back
Burn the land and boil the sea
You can't take the sky from me.
Leave the men where they lay
They'll never see another day
Lost my soul, lost my dream
You can't take the sky from me.
I feel the black reaching out
I hear its song without a doubt
I still hear and I still see
That you can't take the sky from me.
Lost my love, lost my land
Lost the last place I could stand
There's no place I can be
Since I've found Serenity
And you can't take the sky from me.
Best wishes,
Joe
