Larry Norman - Soul On Fire lyrics

Eldridge was a bad man At least that's what the people said But Eldridge, he was only working out All the things they put inside his head He was like an angry lion, trapped in a vice They couldn't keep him down And so they put his soul on ice They locked him in a prison cell But he managed to get away But living on the run ain't no fun Both eyes open every night and day Just a little peace and quiet Was his one desire But it never came 'til something set his soul on fire Then the man in the moon spoke in his ear With a word that was true and a voice that was clear Go back to your people, but lean on me They can lock you up again, but I have set you free Eldridge says he's different now; Some people, they don't agree They say he's only trying to free himself; I guess in time we all will see But I do believe his message He ain't no liar When he says that Jesus can set your soul on fire
