You've been beaten up badly, your life is a mess,
Got no money in your pockets, can't seem to get no rest,
Got your eyes on other's profits and you'll steal to get your own,
Got no food in your belly, got no place that you call home.

I believe in love, love believes in me,
From an act of mercy the word has set me free.

Your hands are tied behind you, even though there is no rope,
Your friends, they all despise you, but there's one who gives you hope,
He's the one who stands before you, even though you're in the dark,
With his light, he will explore you and he'll cleanse your blackened heart.

I believe in love, love believes in me,
From an act of mercy the word has set me free.

Escape from the fire,
No need to burn out young,
Escape from the fire,
And believe in the only one,
Escape from the fire,
On your way to the Father and the Son,
Escape from the fire.

I believe in love, love believes in me,
From an act of mercy the word has set me free.

Escape from the fire,
No need to burn out young,
Escape from the fire,
And believe in the only one,
Escape from the fire,
On your way to the Father and the Son,
Escape from the fire,
And believe in the only one,
Escape from the fire.

Escape from the fire,
Escape from the fire,
Escape from the fire,
