The Prisoner Lyrics - England Dan & John Ford Coley

1 Take us to the prisoner

2 Let us gaze into his eyes

3 To see what kind of man

4 It takes a nation to despise

5 Take us to the prisoner

6 Let us look upon his face

7 To see why twenty thousand men

8 Would gladly take his place

9 Won't someone give a drink to him?

10 Remove the chains and let him live

11 Let him live

12 Take us to the prisoner

13 Let us listen to his voice

14 To see why worlds of wisdom's

15 In a cell without a choice

16 Take us to the prisoner

17 Torn and bent beneath the chains

18 We wonder if the world is really

19 Worthy of his name?

20 Won't someone give a drink to him?

21 Remove the chains and let him live

22 Let him live

23 We know where we're going

24 For we heard the new winds blowing

25 And we're got to know for ourselves

26 It won't help to listen to someone else

27 Take us to the prisoner

28 With his eyes so full of grace

29 The priests have lied

30 And kings have died

31 Filled with their own disgrace

32 Won't someone give a drink to him?

33 Remove the chains and let him live

34 Let him live

35 Let him live

36 Let him live
