So run like a vagabond, carry the flame
Don't ever stop moving on, just run like a vagabond
Run for the children and run for the slaves
So run like a vagabond, carry the flame
They say he's calling the weary home
Hold it up high with a message of faith
But he won't stop to rest 'til he's reached every town
So run like a vagabond, carry the flame
Hold it up high with a message of faith
Hold it up high with a message of faith
The words that he speaks have been colored illegal
I know of a man who lives on the other side
Run for the children and run for the slaves
With a heart full of stories of hope
So run like a vagabond, carry the flame
Don't ever stop moving on, just run like a vagabond
He stays in the streets where the beggars are broken
Don't ever stop moving on, just run like a vagabond
Hold it up high with a message of faith
Don't ever stop moving on
On the other side of this mountain
Run for the children and run for the slaves
Run for the children and run for the slaves
Hey yeah yeah yeah
His book is a gun that he reads for the people
Hey hey
On the other side of this mountain
But the law that he's under is bigger than paper and gowns
Run like a vagabond, carry the flame
Run like a vagabond, run like a vagabond, run like a vagabond
I've been told of a man who walks on the other side
Risking his life, a bull's eye in the open
