The Outlaw

Some say he was an outlaw that he roamed across the land
 With a band of unschooled ruffians and few old fishermen
 No one knew just where he came from or exactly what he'd done
 But they said it must be something bad that kept him on the run
 Some say he was a poet that he'd stand upon the hill
 That his voice could calm an angry crowd and make the waves stand still
 That he spoke in many parables that few could understand
 But the people sat for hours just to listen to this man
 Some say he was a sorcerer, a man of mystery
 He could walk upon the water, he could make a blind man see
 That he conjured wine at weddings and did tricks with fish and bread
 That he talked of being born again and raised people from the dead
 Some say a politician, who spoke of being free
 He was followed by the masses on the shores of Galilee
 He spoke out against corruption and he bowed to no decree
 And they feared his strength and power so they nailed him to a tree
 Some say he was the Son of God, a man above all men
 That he came to be a servant and to set us free from sin
 And that's who I believe he is 'cause that's what I believe
 And I think we should get ready 'cause it's time for us to leave
