My mind is clearer now

At last, all too well,

I can see where we all soon will be



If you strip away

The myth from the man

You will see where we all soon will be



Jesus



You've started to believe, the things they say of you

You really do believe this talk of God is true

And all the good you've done will soon get swept away

You'll begun to matter more than the things you say



Listen Jesus I don't like what I see

All I ask is that you listen to me

And remember, I've been your right hand man all along



You have set them all on fire

They think they've found the new Messiah

And they'll hurt you when they find they're wrong



I remember when this whole thing began

No talk of God then

We called you a man

And believe me my admiration for you hasn't died



But every word you say today

Gets twisted 'round some other way

And they'll hurt you if they think you've lied



Nazareth you're famous son should've stayed a great unknown

Like his father carving wood, He'd have made good

Tables, chairs, and oaken chests

Would have suited Jesus best

He'd have caused nobody harm

No one alarm



Listen Jesus do you care for your race?

Don't you see we must keep in our place?

We are occupied

Have you forgotten how put down we are?



I am frightened by the crowd

For we are getting much too loud

And they'll crush us if we go too far

If we go too far



Listen Jesus to the warning I give

Please remember that I want us to live

But it's sad to see our chances weakening with every hour



All your followers are blind

Too much heaven on their minds

It was beautiful, but
