WANTED MAN Lyrics by TEMITOPE

2023

[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
Before His first breath on earth
They loosed the hounds to search
Hellbent on taking Him down
This Wanted man

Wanted man (Ahh)

[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Traded for a "forty piece"
And with a kiss on His cheek
His friends would sell him out
This

[Chorus]
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

[Tag]
He’s the Son of God, but a wanted man

[Verse 3]
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

[Pre-Chorus 3]
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
This

[Chorus]
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

[Tag]
He’s the Son of God, but a wanted man
He’s the Son of God, but a wanted man
