Lyrics
(Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh)

Oh, I had to run, to run, to run
From Mont Royale
Aux Portes des Lions
But no freedom would come my way

Yeah, no freedom from
What he'd done to me
Then I heard that Rock and Roll
Outside the South Hill Candy Store

Felt myself walking in
I was up above me, I was standing right beside me, oh
And I saw my deliverance
(Deliverance, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh)
Oh, I had to sing, to sing, to sing
From the western sea
To the old country

Oh, I had to bleed, to bleed, to bleed
'Til his poison left my veins
Left me

Yeah, I heard that Rock and Roll
Outside the South Hill Candy Store
Felt myself walking in
I was up above me, I was standing right beside me, oh
And I saw my deliverance

(Deliverance)
(Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Ooh)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
(Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh)

Now I still run, still run, still run
To catch a song
And cheat the gun

Come, freedom, come, I pray, I pray
Can't stop me now
Can't steal my joy

Then I heard that Rock and Roll
Outside the South Hill Candy Store
Felt myself walking in
I was up above me, I was standing right beside me, oh
And I saw my deliverance

(Deliverance)
