Some people say they live for no good reason

I guess they live despite

The very things they choose not to believe in

And the love they must deny

I don't want that kind of they call it freedom

If I have to be a cynic when I die



I'd rather be a prisoner

Lock me in and never let me out

I'd rather be a prisoner of Your love

Than to be the champion of my doubt



Some people say this world will end with a whimper

And some say with a bang

No matter how much your theories might differ

It's passing just the same

And when it's gone I hope I can remember

Who to accuse and who I have to thank



I hope that I'm Your prisoner

Well maybe then you could transfer me out of here

I'd rather be a prisoner of Your love

Than to be the victim of their fears



I hear the door shut. I hear the lock snap

I know that when You took me in that

You'd never let me go back

I see the people. I hear their angry shouts

And I know when You locked me in

You locked the world out



I'd rather be a prisoner

Well You can lock me in and never let me out

Than to be the champion of my doubt

I'd rather by a prisoner of Your love



I'd rather be a prisoner

Well You can lock me in and never let me out

I'd rather be a prisoner of Your love

Than to be the champion of my doubt

I'd rather be a prisoner
