Song Lyrics

"Saviour"

by Ralph van Manen
Album: Live (Un)plugged

Janey can?t remember, where she spent last night
But it maust have been some party, that?s for sure
?cos waking up this morning
Her head feels like a storm
But she?s been here too many times before
One thing just leads to another
One more goodbye to a one night lover
One more day surviving on her own

She needs a Saviour, bur who?s gonna tell her
Who?s gonna let her close enough
She needs a Saviour, but who?s gonna teach her
Who?s gonna reach her with the Father?s love

Johnny sleep in the gutter in a cardboard box hotel
It?s a long long way away from your easy chair
You can?t call him a looser
?cos he?s nothing left to lose
He doesn?t understand the words; ?I care?
But he?s a child of God?s creation
Caught in a hell of desolation
Nowhere left to run, nowhere to turn

He needs a Saviour, bur who?s gonna tell him
Who?s gonna let him close enough
He needs a Saviour, but who?s gonna teach him
Who?s gonna reach him with the Father?s love

For compassion knows no seperation
No barricades or isolation
Why can?t we open up our eyes
And truly learn to love

Saviour, oh how we need you now
The world cries out for love somehow
Oh Savior you love everyone the same
but so many still don?t know your name
Saviour, help me to tell them
