So thinking back on it all, it’s like  It’s a beautiful thing, let’s go  Yo they can’t take it away  Form, they can’t take it away  TobyMac they can’t take it away  Maj they can’t take it away  No they can’t take it away  No they can’t take it away    It seems I was oblivious to it  I didn’t see you lurking in the shadows  One would think the close calls woulda gave you away  But I was stuck in two feet shallow  I saw the footprints and then  Naah, it couldn’t have been him  I wasn’t the type of cat to pray  Perhaps I’ll chalk it up as coincidence  And commence to be my on my way  What makes a bad boy leave his stash cold turkey  And make vanity retreat from purple streets  I guess your rep is really opposite ruthless  You even walked the windy city with Mr. West it’s like    Chorus  What we got (to my people all over the world)  They can’t take it away  They can’t take it away  No way, no way  (Repeat 1x)    Some wish to rewind the hands of time  And erase every mistake made  Others wish to discover the true meaning of life  A mystery through out the ages  Some say that you can’t exist, nah  How can it be when the very air we breathe  Is evidence we all have the capacity to believe  Without seeing a thing  What made the Passion such a blast  When so many peers left the theaters on the verge of tears  May be your story’s not all that impossible  It’s the fact you bring healing beyond the hospital and that’s why    So it doesn’t really matter what comes my way  Here to shake up the world that’s why I pray  Spread love and let the Son shine bright all day  They can’t take it away, can’t take it away  And if my heart beat stops pace tonight  I’m waking up and staring God in the face alright  So if you feel me get your hands in outta space so high  They can’t take it away    Yo DJ Maj I got your back on this track for fact  And if it’s me and you or you and me the deck be stack  So tell me why they gotta try and go and do us like that  Don’t they know they can’t take it away  Ain’t no robbing this joy ain’t no stealing this peace  Ain’t no taking our faith as we drop to our knees  They can take it all everything we possess  But they can’t take belief from down deep in our chest I rest  Our Father who art in heaven  Hallowed be Thy name  Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done  On Earth as it is in heaven    No Maj (what) they can’t take a thing  (Sing your song Mac what)  They can’t take a thing away no  Africa they can’t take it away  India they can’t take it away  Arabia they can’t take it away  Israel they can’t take it away
