The Runner

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

From Mont Royale

Aux Portes des Lions

But no freedom would come my way

Yeah, no freedom from

What he'd done to me

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, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh)

(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh)

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

'Til his poison left my veins

Left me

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

Now I still run, still run, still run

To catch a song

And cheat the girl

Come freedom, come, I pray, I pray

Can't stop me now

Can't steal my joy

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
