YOU CAN’T TAKE ANYTHING – John Elefante

YOU CAN’T TAKE ANYTHING

You can’t take my heart, you can’t take my soul
You can’t take anything, that means anything at all
Can’t mark my skin, you can’t rule my mind
You wont get anything that means anything at all, no no,
You can’t have anything, you can’t have anything at all

You can turn on the lights but the dark wont go away
Theres nothing to see till the veils been pulled away
Dont say goodbye till summer has turned to fall
As long as this world keeps turning,
You can’t take anything at all

You can’t take my love for my father
Or any promises that were made by him
Can’t own a dream of a chosen one, not now
Not then, not ever
No no, no no

You can turn on the lights but the dark wont go away
Theres nothing to see till the veils been pulled away
Dont say goodbye till summer has turned to fall
As long as this world keeps turning,
You can’t take anything at all

And we fight invisible enemies
who tell us theres no need
To look beyond whats here and now
its too far out of reach
But we brought nothing into this world
Well bring nothing out
Well bring nothing out

Turn on the lights the dark has gone away
We can see now the veil has been pulled away
Say goodbye the summer has turned to fall
As long as this world keeps turning,
You can’t take anything at all
Not anything at all, no no, anything at all

About Steven Gledhill

My name is Steven Gledhill, a certified substance use disorder (SUD) professional of more than two decades. I am narried with three sons and two grandsons. I recognize that every person who's ever lived is subject to the human condition, valuing self and the need for control above all else. Therefore, all are inclined to be self-centered with the preoccupation to be absolutely satisfied and comfortable. The prerequisite for satisfying comfort is the control that all seek and that none attain. Furthermore, all of us are vulnerable to temptation and challenged desperately to resist it. We have all given ourselves over to human desire and have fallen to temptation and engaged in behavior that has potential for harm and so we all have experienced harm. We have all have experienced the pain and discomfort associated with unfavorable outcomes from self-centered behavior to one degree or another. It is only in relationship with God through Jesus Christ that anyone and everyone has the opportunity for restoration from the ills of self-centered thinking and behavior. Faith in the living God when realized through experience, appeals most to our intellectual sensibilities. Transformed by a renewed mind, it is reasonable to anticipate that God is involved with us becuase of his love for us. Relationship with God is reasonable and is as real as anything you have ever seen, heard, touched, smelled, and tasted. The Bible says, "Taste and see that the Lord is good. (The word, Lord, speak's to God's sovereignty; something even Albert Einstein believed about God.)
