Try to take this Old Soul's strength


You can take my family

Take my friends

Take my sanity

My wits end.

Try to take my strength

The inner strength present since before birth.

For the old soul

Strength

Is ever present within.

Take me to hell and back,

Lord knows you have.

Strand me on a desert island

No food, no love, no chance for life.

Try to take this Old Soul's strength,

I will prevail.
