You Can’t Take What You Don’t Have
WhiteHeart

John, would you bring my slippers?
My dancin’ slippers.


Strip it clean
Chain my hands
And take my land
Cut my hair
Try to shut my mouth
I’ll still speak-out
Tie me up
Close my eyes
You can hypnotize
You can tear me apart
But you’ll never touch my heart
‘Cause you can’t take what you don’t have

Hear the whispered warnings
Down the corridor of time
Crack the whip
Pull the chains
But the story will unwind

See the drawn-out faces
Live the history
Look into the children’s eyes
This is what you’ll reap

Strip it clean
Chain my hands
And take my land
Cut my hair
Try to shut my mouth
I’ll still speak-out
Tie me up
And close my eyes
You can hypnotize
You can tear me apart
But you’ll never touch my heart
‘Cause you can’t take what you don’t have
You can’t take what you don’t have
You can’t take what you don’t have
You don’t have me

Here comes the government
Knockin’ at my door
They’ve tried to take it all
Now they’re back for more

I know what they’re after
But there’s nothin’ they can do
‘Cause the heart and the soul of the ages
Is somethin’ I won’t lose

Strip it clean
Chain my hands
And take my land
Cut my hair
Try to shut my mouth
I’ll still speak-out
Tie me up
Close my eyes
You can even hypnotize
You can tear me apart
But you’ll never touch my heart
‘Cause you can’t take what you don’t have
You can’t take what you don’t have
You can’t take what you don’t have
You can’t take what you don’t have
You don’t have me

Strip it clean
Chain my hands

Cut my hair
Try to shut my mouth

Tie me up
Close my eyes

You can tear me apart
But you’ll never touch my heart

‘Cause you can’t take what you don’t have
You can’t take what you don’t have
You can’t take what you don’t have
You can’t take what you don’t have
You can’t take what you don’t have
You can’t take what you don’t have

  1. Never heard of this bunch until I started visiting your blog.

    Time to do a little research...

  2. They were huge on Contemporary Christian radio back in the late 80's through the 90's, Ethan; but they are broke-up now. Thankfully: the music remains; and you should be able to find-out a lot about the group through the link that is provided unto their official website.

  4. Alas, far too many live such sheltered lives.

Since the Blogger spam filter has been found sorely lacking lately, I will start moderating comments. Be assured that I am only interested in deleting spam. So, if you feel a need to take me to task over something—even anonymously, go ahead and let 'er rip, and I will publish it as soon as I can.
