Firefly Theme Song Lyrics
Take my love, take my land
Take me where I can not stand
I don’t care cause I’m still free
You can’t take the sky from me
Take me out, to the black
Tell them I ain’t coming back
Burn the land and boil the sea
You can’t take the sky from me
There’s no place I can be
Since I found Serenity
Burn the land and boil the sea
You can’t take the sky from me
You can’t take the sky from me
You can’t take the sky from me
You can’t take the sky
You can’t take the sky
You can’t take the sky from me
There’s no place I can be
Since I found Serenity
Burn the land and boil the sea
You can’t take the sky from me
You can’t take the sky from me
You can’t take the sky from me
You can’t take the sky
You can’t take the sky
You can’t take the sky from me
