[Instrumental Intro feat. Electronic Keyboard]

[Verse 1]

You are in oppression -- that cannot be seen

Fighting aggression -- from supernatural beings

They're strong powers -- principalities

But still -- I do not expect defeat

[Verse 2]

Bible has the truth -- the vital avenue

Rivals by the way -- will try to trap you

Like those other guys -- those wild other guys

They will come at you -- and badger you

[Chorus 1]

You are in oppression -- that's my impression

So do you want to be free? Then take a leap with me

You are in oppression -- school's now in session

Go to Luke 4 verse 18 -- to see what Jesus thinks

[Verse 3]

I need you to cling to by faith Psalm 9:9

From Egypt, He freed up the sufferin' Israelites

To protect -- you must believe

Pray -- though there's no one there you see

[Verse 4]

Your face appears to grin -- I see what you did there

But I think angels -- reign everywhere

The serpent has -- his own angel team

But Ephesians -- has got what we need

[Chorus 2]

You are in oppression -- that's my impression

So do you want to be free? I'll make you read with me

You are in oppression -- Go find Ephesians

2:2, 6:12 through 18 -- do they agree with me?

[Instrumental Break feat. Electronic Keyboard]

[Verse 5]

They plan to seize -- your earthly assets

And all your good gifts -- they'll turn to bad debts

Don't need to possess you -- just to ruin your soul

I find this troubling -- but God's in control

[Verse 6]

Try to have a new -- survival attitude

Christ will guide the way -- the Bible has proof

Like those other guys -- who found the love of Christ

God will protect you -- and fight for you

[Chorus 3]

You are in oppression -- that's my impression

So do you want to be free? He'll make you leap with glee

You are in oppression -- don't fight with flesh, hon

You do your war with the beasts who plague you secretly

[Chorus 4]

You are in oppression -- that's my impression

So do you want to be free? And maybe sleep in peace?

You are in oppression -- turn my direction

To Daniel 10 verse 13 -- and take a peek with me

[Outro - Chorus 5]

You are in oppression -- that's my impression

So do you want to be free? No way to keep this brief

You are in oppression -- that's my assessment...
