[Verse 1]

Word of life on severed tree

I picked it up and took a swing

My pastor told us, "Don't you worry

Even Zacchaeus found his glory"

[Chorus]

I was a sprinter then

Living to see it end

[Verse 2]

Well, pastor lost his position

Went down for pornography

So I found myself some ground to stand

Bound to be the better man

[Chorus]

'Cause I was a sprinter then

Living to see it end

[Bridge]

Wound up, in a holding pattern

Circled my landing in a lather

Unnerved, I laughed, "I planned the snag!"

Then went down for a dipso jag

[Chorus]

'Cause I was a sprinter then

Dying to see it end

I was a sprinter then

Dying to see it end

[Outro]

There's freedom to and freedom from

Freedom to run from everyone

There's freedom to and freedom from

Freedom to run from everyone

Well, what I did is what is done

The baptist in me chose to run

But if there's still time to choose the sun

I'll choose the sun, I'll choose the sun

I'll run it back, I'll choose the sun

I'll run it back to everyone

If there's still time, I'll choose the sun

And I'll run it back to everyone
