you can take away my clothes
you can take away my home
you can take away my car
even my precious stones

you can take away my sight
you can take away my heart
you can take away my health
even my possessions

with all my worldly goods gone
and with my family all laid to rest
with all the good things in life gone bad
even those closest to me

you can't have it all
I've got my pride
I've got my soul
and I have God to lean on

stripped down bare
through and through
even with all of it gone
I still have enough love
to go around
