[Chorus]
Isaac ran away
Why was he captured in the first place?
Runaway slave is a crime for the brave
Please give me death instead of new chains
Isaac ran away
Why was he captured in the first place?
Runaway slave is a crime for the brave
Please give me death instead of new chains
[Verse 1]
Isaac wanted freedom
There it sat elusively on the horizon
Isaac saw his wife sold and his kids were gone
Today was the last day of detrimental compromising
You see, Isaac had a dream that he could be free
Long before negroes gathered to deliver speeches in Washington, D.C.
Isaac, an individual catalyst for collective change
Isaac ran away, for he was brave
And a criminal according to history
Runaway slaves are fugitive entities
How ridiculous, freeing yourself is tremendous, magnificent
Isaac ran away, for he knew he was free
Despite what the chains say
[Instrumental]
Isaac ran away
Why was he captured in the first place?
Runaway slave is a crime for the brave
Please give me death instead of new chains
Isaac ran away
Why was he captured in the first place?
Runaway slave is a crime for the brave
Please give me death instead of new chains
