Rescue
Words by Peter Furler, Steve Taylor, and Phil Joel
Music by Peter Furler

Old as the hills, new everyday.
It's in the bones like it's DNA.
First taste is sweet 'til it rots in your mouth.
Another old friend who rats you out.
All of the time in this life
Can't loose the ties that bind.
They shackle our feet, we trip, we fall.
(We fall.)
We crawl.
(We crawl.)
I was born in the mess of it all

Then You rescued me, rescued me,
Lord, with a touch of Your hand.
Another captive free again.
Who else in heaven could do this but You?
Yeah.
You rescued me, rescued me,
Lord, with a love out of mind.
Oh, You know I love it when
Everyday I am rescued again.
Yeah.

Over the years your nature's way
Is turning wrongs into roles you play.
Caught in a spell that's overcast
You gain perspective, it doesn't last.
All of the time in this life
Can't loose the ties that blind you.
They're new everyday, old as the fall.
(The fall.)
The fall.
(The fall.)
And I was born in the mess of it all

Then You rescued me, rescued me,
Lord, with a touch of Your hand.
Another captive free again.
Who else in heaven could do this but You?
Yeah.
You rescued me, rescued me,
Lord, with a love out of mind.
Oh, You know I love it when
Everyday I am rescued again.
Every day, every way, every...

Every cheap imitation,
All of my imagination,
Even my self-preservation,
Is Yours in time.

You rescued me, rescued me,
Lord, with a touch of Your hand.
Another captive free again.
Who else in heaven could do this but You?
Yeah.

You rescued me, rescued me,
Lord, with a love out of mind.
Oh, You know I love it when
Everyday I am rescued again.
Yeah.

You rescued me, rescued me,
Lord, with a touch of Your hand.
Another captive free again.
Everyday I am rescued again.
Again.
Oh oh-oh-oh.
Oh oh-oh-oh.
Oh oh-oh-oh.
Oh oh-oh-oh.
Oh yeah.
Ah yeah.
Ah yeah.
Ah yeah yeah yeah.
Ah yeah.
Ah yeah.
Ah yeah...
