Vagabond
Vagabond's Flame: A Journey of Hope and Freedom
Lyrics
I know of a man who lives on the other side
The speaker knows a man who lives on the opposite side of something.
On the other side of this mountain
This man lives on the other side of a mountain.
They say he's calling the weary home
There are claims that this man is inviting those who are tired or worn-out to come home.
I've been told of a man who lives on the other side
Similar to line 1, the speaker has been informed about a man residing on the opposite side of something.
On the other side of this mountain
Reiterating that this man lives on the other side of a mountain.
With a heart full of stories of hope
This man possesses a heart filled with stories that inspire hope.
So run like a vagabond, carry the flame
Encouragement to move forward like a wanderer, carrying a symbolic flame.
Run for the children and run for the slaves
Run for the sake of children and those who are enslaved or oppressed.
Hold it up high with a message of faith
Carry the flame high with a message centered on faith.
Don't ever stop moving on
Emphasizing the importance of continuous movement and progress.
Just run like a vagabond
A repetition emphasizing the notion of moving forward like a wanderer.
His book is a gun that he reads for the people
The man's words from his book are likened to a powerful weapon.
The words that he speaks have been colored illegal
The words he speaks are considered illegal or prohibited.
But the law that he's under is bigger than paper and gowns
Despite legal constraints, the authority he abides by transcends mere written laws.
He stayed in the streets where the beggars are broken
He remains in places where the impoverished and desperate reside.
He's risking is life, a bullseye in the open
He risks his life openly in these vulnerable locations.
But he won't stop to rest until he's reached every town
His commitment is to not stop until he reaches every town, disregarding rest.
So run like a vagabond, carry the flame
A repetition urging movement akin to a wanderer, bearing the flame.
Run for the children and run for the slaves
Continue running for the marginalized and enslaved.
Hold it up high with a message of faith
Continue holding the flame high, delivering a message founded on faith.
Don't ever stop moving on
Emphasizing the importance of perpetual forward motion.
Just run like a vagabond
Reiteration of the encouragement to move forward resembling a wanderer.
