"All my Role Models"

“All My Role Models Went to Prison”

YEAH!!

(Verse 1)

They chained their hands but not their praise

Locked the doors but not their faith

From the courtrooms to the cell

They carried heaven through the hell

Jesus stood before the crowd

Silent, strong, and unbowed

Paul wrote letters in the night

Joseph dreamed by candlelight

(Chorus)

All my role models went to prison

For a truth they wouldn’t deny

Daniel prayed with the lions waiting

John saw glory in the sky

Peter sang in the midnight hour

Bars couldn’t hold the power within

All my role models went to prison

And I wanna live like them

(Verse 2)

They faced the fire, they faced the stone

But they knew they weren’t alone

Faith that stands when the world says “No”

Love that shines when the shadows grow

They didn’t bow to fear or shame

They lifted high the holy name

Chains would fall, the ground would shake

God’s kingdom rising in their wake

(Chorus)

All my role models went to prison

For a truth they wouldn’t deny

Daniel prayed with the lions waiting

John saw glory in the sky

Peter sang in the midnight hour

Bars couldn’t hold the power within

All my role models went to prison

And I wanna live like them

(Bridge)

If the day should ever come

When my faith is on the line

I pray I’ll stand like they have done

With a fire that will not die

(Final Chorus)

All my role models went to prison

For a truth they wouldn’t deny

Daniel prayed with the lions waiting

John saw glory in the sky

Peter sang in the midnight hour

Bars couldn’t hold the power within

All my role models went to prison

And I wanna live like them
