Wanted Man
by TEMITOPE

Album: MEFA

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

He's the Son of God, but a wanted man
