Prisoner Lyrics - Singles - Rich Mullins

Some people say they live for no good reason 

I guess they live despite 

The very things they choose not to believe in 

And the love they must deny 

I don't want that kind of they call it freedom 

If I have to be a cynic when I die 

I'd rather be a prisoner 

Lock me in and never let me out 

I'd rather be a prisoner of your love 

Than to be the champion of my doubt 

Some people say this world will end with a whimper 

And some say with a bang 

No matter how much your theories might differ 

It's passing just the same 

When it's gone I hope I can remember 

Who to accuse and who I have to thank 

I hope that I'm your prisoner 

Well, maybe then you could transfer me out of here 

I'd rather be a prisoner of your love 

Than to be the victim of their fears 

I hear the door shut, I hear the lock snap 

I know that when you took me in that 

You'd never let me go back 

I see the people, I hear their angry shouts 

And I know when you locked me in 

You locked the world out 

I'd rather be a prisoner 

Well, you can lock me in and never let me out 

I'd rather by a prisoner of your love 

Than to be the champion of my doubt 

I'd rather be a prisoner 

Well, you can lock me in and never let me out 

I'd rather be a prisoner of your love 

Than to be the champion of my doubt 

I'd rather be a prisoner
