Lyrics

A renegade
Rides a run away train
To liberate
Tear these bonds assunder
A fugitive
Running from a chain gang
Comfort me
Grant me absolution
Running all my life
Running all my day
Running through the night
Seems like forever
Take me now
I'm so tired
Take me now
This time, forever
RESCUE ME
I'm on the run like a refugee
RESCUE ME
Oh come on rescue me
I'm destitute
I'm looking for protection
I want love
And physical asylum
A vagabond
Running from destruction
Cover me
While I seek defection
Running all my life
Running all my day
Running through the night
Seems like forever
Take me now
I'm so tired
Take me now
This time, forever
RESCUE ME
I'm on the run like a refugee
RESCUE ME
I believe you can rescue me
Running all my life
Running all my day
Running through the night
Seems like forever
Take me now
I'm so tired
Take me now
This time, forever
RESCUE ME
On the run like a refugee
RESCUE ME
Oh come on rescue me
RESCUE ME
Got to run like a refugee
RESCUE ME
I believe you can rescue me
RESCUE ME
Come on, come on, come on, come on
