The Runner

[Verse 1]

Oh, I had to run, to run, to run

From Mont Royale

Aux Portes des Lions (to the Lion's Doors)

But no freedom would come my way

Yeah, no freedom from

What he'd done to me

[Chorus]

Then I heard that Rock and Roll

Outside the South Hill Candy Store

Felt myself walking in

I was up above me, I was standing right beside me, oh

And I saw my deliverance

Deliverance

[Verse 2]

Oh, I had to sing, to sing, to sing

From the western sea

To the old country

Oh, I had to bleed, to bleed, to bleed

Till his poison left my veins

Left me

[Chorus]

Yeah, I heard that Rock and Roll

Outside the South Hill Candy Store

Felt myself walking in

I was up above me, I was standing right beside me, oh

And I saw my deliverance

Deliverance

[Verse 3]

Now I still run, still run, still run

To catch a song

And cheat the gun

Come freedom come, I pray, I pray

Can't stop me now

Can't steal my joy

[Chorus]

Then I heard that Rock and Roll

Outside the South Hill Candy Store

Felt myself walking in

I was up above me, I was standing right beside me, oh

And I saw my deliverance

Deliverance
