The Outlaw lyrics

Some say he was an outlaw

That he roamed across the land

With a band of unschooled ruffians

And a 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

And 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'd conjured wine at weddings

And did tricks with fish and bread

That he'd 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 was

'Cause that's what I believe

And I think we should get ready

'Cause it's time for us to leave
