Thank God For The Renegades

And the Lives They Live...

The lyrics of Steve Vaus's song "Renegades" celebrate the courageous individuals throughout history who defied societal norms and fought for freedom and change. The song draws parallels between Jesus Christ, the Founding Fathers of America, and the idea of renegades in general.

In the first verse, the lyrics reference Jesus Christ, who came from humble origins in Nazareth with a group of followers. He aimed to bring about a revolution, which some people embraced, while others saw him as a threat. Ultimately, Jesus's crucifixion became the solution to those who opposed his message. However, the lyrics also emphasize that Jesus rose again, symbolizing his resilience and the fact that wise men continue to follow his teachings.

The second verse shifts the focus to the Founding Fathers of America. They are described as another group of renegades who defied the authority of the crown and fought for independence. They sacrificed their lives in a bloody war to secure liberty for future generations.

Throughout the song, the chorus expresses gratitude for the renegades and the lives they led, which were far ahead of their time. Without these renegades, the lyrics suggest that the world would be in a different, possibly less free, state. The repeated refrain emphasizes the importance of these renegades as heroes who have had a significant impact on society.

From Nazareth he came, With a rag tag band

To bring... A revolution

Some would make Him King, others couldn't stand for that

The cross... Was the solution

But he rose again, wise men follow him

He rose again, wise men follow him

Thank God for the renegades, and the lives they lead

Far ahead of their time

Without the renegades, Lord knows where we'd be

When it comes to heroes, Renegades are mine

They railed against the crown, Another rag tag band

Declaring Independence

They laid their bodies down, won a bloody war

And liberty for their descendants

Thanks to the renegades, we're free today

Thanks to the renegades, we're free today

Thank god for the renegades, and the lives they lead

Far ahead of their time

Without the renegades, Lord knows where we'd be

When it comes to heroes, Renegades are mine

Where are the renegades in the world today?

Who are the renegades in the world today?

Thank god for the renegades, and the lives they lead

Far ahead of their time

Without the renegades, Lord knows where we'd be

When it comes to heroes, Renegades are mine

When it comes to heroes, Renegades are mine
