lyrics

Evening breaks
Esau begs
Before the day is sealed
Jacob gave
And his slave
Forsakes the birthright for a meal

His mother wept
Jacob left
With no excuse to give
From the throne flew
Angels who knew
A song for the fugitive

Roll the stone over and rest your head
When night falls you have no fear
Heard a whisper on heaven and it said
The Lord will meet you here

Rachel cried
Demons died
When he opened up that well
Did he see light in her eyes?
Fourteen years time would tell

Oh Laban, what were you thinking?
His God is drinking your plans up
For all the tricks and the games you play
He will take
Both your daughters away

Send the women and children to the other side
He's got an angel keeping him up at night
Esau says this is my own flesh and blood
He's fought with God and Man and overcome
