Lucky Dube- Fugitive Lyrics

I’ve been sitting here for many days now

They’ve been looking for me for many days too

From where I’m sitting

I can see their angry faces

It’s only a matter of time

They’ll be on to me

The sirens, helicopters and tanks

The bloodhounds are on my trail, Oh God

Just in minutes

They’ll be tearing me apart

If I don’t do now

What I’ve been doing all my life

I’ve been running…all my life

I was running….all my life

I’m the running man

The fugitive

Seeking political asylum is not an easy thing down here, Oh God

My father had friends in high places

And in low places too

Every time we asked him to stop running

He would say

“Leave it all to me, I’ll make it right”

Today he’s gone, I’m still running

Coyotes and vultures closing in on me

I take it as a warning, Oh God

I’ll be running

I’ll be running

‘Cause I am

I’m the running man

The fugitive
