Saved Lyrics

[Verse: Labi Siffre]
I am a free man, and my father, he was a slave
I have been broken, but my children will be saved
Saved for the fire, of man's desire
Saved for tomorrow, with today's sorrow
Saved for a Jesus, who does not need us
Saved for the lovers, I pray they will discover
Well I don't need religion, to tell me what to do
I know that I should love you

And if there is a heaven, and I get there
How can I be happy, with my children down here

Saved for the fire, of man's desire
Saved for tomorrow, with today's sorrow
Saved for a Jesus, who does not need us
Saved for the lovers, I pray they will discover
