I might be way off, however the lyrics always make me think of Jacob (Israel), because he fled from his home in fear of the repercussions of his deception. He made his dad Isaac think he was his older brother, Esau. This was possible due to the fact that his dad was essentially blind and he received the birthright that is only reserved for the firstborn. After committing this act, he flees like a fugitive to evade justice and the wrath of Esau, however God was with Jacob from the very beginning, overlooking the flaws he had, knowing full well the man he would become. Faithful and exceedingly in love with the Lord God. Jacob was so blessed that he was given the name of the nation God would assemble. Made of the twelve tribes that are named after his twelve sons and each tribe consisting of the descendants of each son.
