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
