Lyrics

Will I hear the angels sing?
How will I know which path to follow?
Will I stand straight and tall
For what is right? Will I be certain?

You can take away my job
Take away my home
Burn all my books off their shelves
But you’ll never steal my soul

I’ll speak whenever I want,
And I’ll say what I believe
Oh my mind you’ll never control
No you’ll never steal my soul
If we bulldoze down all the olive trees
There’ll be no more branches to extend for peace
No, you’ll never steal my soul

If we bulldoze down all the olive trees
There’ll be no more branches to extend for peace

You’ll never steal my soul

I’ll speak when I want; I won’t when I don’t
I’ll say what I believe, because words are our hope.
I have my own mind which you’ll never control
No you’ll never steal my soul
I only have one voice, but don’t think I’m alone
Thousand of others believe as I do
We’ll never bow to you
No we’ll never bow to you

You can take away my job
Take away my home
Burn all my books off their shelves
But you’ll never steal my soul
