If Lord is willing, creek don't rise
A promise kept, 'cept if I die
If I should lie, and fail to wake
The creek done rose, and I am late

News (chorus)

I checked on the news today.
(It's gonna be fine)
Some people abused today.
(It weights on the mind)
I got mistreated and used today.
(The sun will still shine)
I checked on the news today.
(And it was alright)

Take my Love (Firefly Theme Cover)

You took all my love, since I gave it for free.
And you took all my land, without paying the fee.
You left me bereft and thus naked of dirt,
And then wonder why that I'm leaving this Earth?

You took all my love, and you took all my land.
You're taking me swiftly where I cannot stand.
And dare you then wonder why I do not stay,
To pick my bones cleanly until judgement day.

You took all my love, I'm heartbroken and sad.
You took all my land, it was all that I had.
I guess that I wronged you, and this was the fee,
But darling, you can't take the sky 'way from me.

Tomorrow I'm leaving, I'm fading to black.
So do tell your sister I'm sorry for that.
Do tell the Thieves Jolly and ole One-Eyed Jack
Tell them, yes tell them, I ain't coming back.

You can take all my love, since I gave it for free.
And have all my land, must've owed you that fee.
You can burn up the land and then boil the sea,
But darling, you can't take the sky 'way from me.

Okay, here's my version of the firefly theme song in anapestic tetrameter (why not, I'm on a roll).
