Petra - Defector lyrics

Words and music by Bob Hartman

Based on Colossians 1:13, Ephesians 2:1-7, Isaiah 61:1,2

You used to play their games

You used to stay the same

They used to hold you back

They knew the best attack

They thought they had a better hold on you

They thought that you would always stay true blue

They couldn't stop you - they had no defense

You went under the wire - you went over the fence

Defector - you broke the chains away

Defector - a higher power you obey

Now they have no hold on you - you've broken through

But don't forget to read the signs 'cause

You still live behind - enemy lines

Defector

They used to drag you down

They used to have you bound

Just like a ball and chain

But they could not restrain

They thought that you could never break away

They thought that you would always go their way

They had you tied up habitually

They never figured you could ever get free

You got away clean but it don't come free

Another man paid with His on agony for...

Freedom

Freedom
