The Prisoner


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
