Every society has its rebels, the nonconformists in varying degrees. After watching a movie about the complicated history of the Roma, I was inspired to write this song as a way of reflecting on their experience. LYRICS We won't settle down We won't cave in We live for the road, the sky, and the wind You can take our possessions You can take our lives That won't change our spirit You can take our possessions You can take our lives You can't take our pride We live on the fringe We come and we go We dance and we sing We sell and cajole We live on the fringe We come and we go We dance and we sing We sell and cajole There isn't a city There isn't a rock There isn't a stream Untouched or Unturned Our sisters Our brothers Our animals too Mean everything to us You can't change our tune You can take our possessions You can take our lives That won't change our spirit You can take our possessions You can take our lives You can't take our pride You can't take our pride You can't take our pride "You Can't Take Our Pride" written, composed, and performed by Charise Sowells.
