You can take God out of my school
you can make me listen to you
You can take God out of the pledge
but you can’t take God out of my head
Listen to me closely, lend me your ear
the substance of my statement lets you know I’m sincere
Government officials, shapers of the land
I’ve got to tell you something you need to understand
Chorus
You can’t take God away from me
you can take my life, my land, my liberty
Lock me up, I’ll still be free
’cause you can’t take God from me
You can take God out of the law
you can make me listen to ya’ll
You can take God out of the start
but you can’t take God out of my heart
Listen to me closely, lend me your ear
the substance of my statement lets you know I’m sincere
Government officials, shapers of the land
I’ve got to tell you something you need to understand
REPEAT CHORUS
Bridge
You can’t take God, you can’t take God away
You can’t take God, you can’t take God away
You can’t take God, you can’t take God away
You can’t take God, you can’t take God away
REPEAT CHORUS
