WANTED MAN Lyrics – TEMITOPE
Lyrics:
Late in the night a refugee, runaway bore the weight of the whole world
Government reeling, fearing the prophecy, heaven’s in a teenage girl
Before His first breath on earth, they loosed the hounds to search
Hellbent on taking Him down (this)
Wanted man
Wanted man
A boy in His preteens, knowing that rugged tree’s coming in a matter of time (He’d be)
Naked and bleeding, hanging for all to see, punished for another man’s crimes
Traded for a forty piece, and with a kiss on his cheek
His friends would sell him out (this)
Wanted man His head has a price, get him dead or alive
If you can, He’s not on the run, won’t be overcome
Scars on His side and holes in His hands
He’s the Son of God, but a wanted man
Fighting for His breath, He used the last, one He had, saying Father please forgive (then)
Day turned to midnight, earth was split, open wide, seemed like hope had met its end
Placed Him in a tomb, and thought that it would do it, like a stone could keep Him down
Not gonna find the living, there among the dead things, glory won’t stay in the ground
And still His body can’t be found
Wanted man His head has a price, get him dead or alive
If you can, He’s not on the run, won’t be overcome
Scars on His side and holes in His hands
He’s the Son of God, but a wanted man
WANTED MAN
