Yes you can Cut off my tongue But no you can’t Stifle the songs unsung Of my seared soul Yes you can Cut off my hand But no you can’t Ignore the demand Of my sinewy stump Yes you can Cut off my legs But no you can’t Sever the steely pegs Of my rebel spirit Yes you can Take away my rights But no you can’t Stop this fight It will go on Yes you can Treat me like a brute But no you can’t Expect I’ll remain mute Much longer Yes you can Put me in a cage But no you can’t Smother my rage It will burn you Yes you can Call me an alien But no you can’t Still remain human I’m just like you Yes you can Sow the poison of doubt But no you can’t Stop the truth from coming out It alone will win
