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 statemnet lets you know I'm sincere 
Government officials, shapers of the land 
I've to to tell you something you need to understand 

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 statemnet lets you know I'm sincere 
Government officials, shapers of the land 
I've to to tell you something you need to understand 

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'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 

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
