Free the people from the fire
Pull the boat out of the raging sea
Tell the devil he's a liar
Come and save the likes of me
 
Saw your light from the street 
As I passed by the other day
I was scared, my knees were weak
Forgot what I had come to say
 
Free the people from the fire
Pull the boat out of the raging sea
Tell the devil he's a liar
Come and save the likes of me
 
Saw a man walk on water
With everybody looking on
I didn't know I was his daughter
'Til both of us had come and gone
 
Free the people from the fire
Pull the boat out of the raging sea
Tell the devil he's a liar
Come and save the likes of me

If you see me in the alley
Looking like I don't belong
You can put me in your greenest valley
I'll still be singing the same old song

Free the people from the fire
Pull the boat out of the raging sea
Tell the devil he's a liar
