Lyrics

Don’t Take What’s Not Yours

Throw down every ounce and pound you’ve got
Throw out every shady doubt or thought
Throw in every loss or win or struggle
Put them in the box, take your fresh chance
Throw up every ball you couldn’t juggle
Keep up every love you’d love to take down
Hold it up to the light with your right
And with your left hand give them back their plans

Don’t take what’s not yours
Fly and be free
No don’t take what you don’t need
Fly and be free

Throw back every catch that wasn’t ready
Throw back every daddy who said “you’re mine”
Throw hard when you give back your mama’s lies
They’re history, take your fresh chance
Make a name that fits you like a glove
Own your space so you can rise above
Leave off the notion that you owe them anything
Or they owe you less than the truth

Don’t take what’s not yours
Fly and be free
No don’t take what you don’t need
Fly and be free

Don’t take their lies on as yours
Don’t take their pain on as yours
Live your life, your singular life as yours
And fly, fly, fly, and be free

Look up, let the starlight fill your eyes
Pull up tall and see how you shine
Give up heartbreak’s hold on your forever
Put it in the box marked “open never”

Don’t take what’s not yours
Fly and be free
No don’t take what you don’t need
Fly and be free, oh fly, fly and be free
Fly and be free
