In the memory of the best series and the best team in the universe.
When the stars shine bright through the engine's trail And the dust of another world drops behind When my ship is free of the open sky That's a damn good day to my way of mind
There's a barren planet you never can leave There's a rocky valley where we lost a war There's a cross once hung round a soldier's neck There's a man's faith died on Serenity's floor
But I stood my ground and I'll fly once more It's the last oath that I ever swore
So, take my love, take my land Take me where I cannot stand I don't care, I'm still free You can't take the sky from me Take me out into the black Tell 'em I ain't comin' back Burn the land and boil the sea You can't take the sky from me You can't take the sky from me
When you see a man and he's standin' alone Well you might just take him for an easy mark And there's many a man has tried his hand And there's worse than wolves in the borderland dark From the savage men to the government hounds Try to take what's yours and tear you through Ah, but them that run with me's got my back It's a fool don't know that his family's his crew
Don't you tell me what I cannot do Don't you think I've got to run from you
Just take my love, take my land Take me where I cannot stand I don't care, I'm still free You can't take the sky from me Take me out into the black Tell 'em I ain't comin' back Burn the land and boil the sea You can't take the sky from me You can't take the sky from me
When you've walked my road and you've seen what I've seen Well you won't go talkin' 'bout righteous men You'll know damn well why I want to keep to my sky Never cry 'neath nobody's heel again I've seen torment raked 'cross innocent souls Seen sane men mad and good men die I've been hounded, hated, married and tricked I've been tortured, cheated, shot, and tied You won't see no tears when I say goodbye I've still got my family and my Firefly
So, take my love, take my land Take me where I cannot stand I don't care, I'm still free You can't take the sky from me Take me out into the black Tell 'em I ain't comin' back Burn the land and boil the sea You can't take the sky from me You can't take the sky from me
