The Prisoner
(Dan Seals & John Ford Coley)
Take us to the Prisoner*
Let us gaze into His eyes
To see what kind of man it takes a nation to despise
Take us to the Prisoner
Let us look upon His face
To see why twenty thousand men would gladly take His place
Won't someone give a drink to Him
Remove the chains and let Him live
Let Him live
*
Take us to the Prisoner
Let us listen to His voice
To see why worlds of wisdom's in a cell without a choice
Take us to the Prisoner
Torn and bent beneath the chains
We wonder if the world is really worthy of His name
Won't someone give a drink to Him
Remove the chains and let Him live
Let Him live
*
Chorus
We know where we're going
For we've heard the new winds blowing
And we've got to know for ourselves
It won't help to listen to someone else
*
Take us to the Prisoner
With his eyes so full of grace
The priests have lied and kings have died
Filled with their own disgrace
Won't someone give a drink to Him
Remove the chains and let Him live
Let Him live
Let Him live
Let Him live
