See the insolent man
Standing on the street
Hear the thundering sound
Of rebellious feet
Demanding rights
Defending wrong
It can bring the righteous blood to boil
And we ask, oh Lord, how long
Oh Lord, how long
But this is not the enemy
Flesh and blood have been deceived
When we move beyond the anger
We will see
chorus:
We've got to rescue the prisoner
Rescue the prisoner
Prisoner of war
That's what He came here for
Rescue the prisoner
Rescue the prisoner
In the beautiful land
Hear the rivers cry
See the innocent ones
Learning well the lie
There is no right
There is no wrong
It can almost make your blood run cold
And we pray, Lord, make us strong
Lord, make us strong
This is not the enemy
Jesus died to make them free
Love will reach behind the danger
Come with me
We are called to be a light
That even blinded eyes can see
To break the chains
To bind the wounds
And to proclaim the captive free
Rescue the prisoner
Rescue the prisoner
Pray for the prisoner
Rescue the prisoner
Rescue the prisoner
Pray for the prisoner
Rescue the prisoner
