D            D4
Young man, up on the hillside
D            D4
Teaching new ways
Em
Each word, winning them over
G2          A4         Bm
Each heart a kindled flame

D          D4
Old men, watch from the outside
D              D4
Guarding their prey
Em
Threated by the voice of a paragon
G2            A4     Bm
Leading their lambs away
G2            A4   Bm
Leading them far away

Bm    G2       A4
Nobody knew his secret ambition
D      G2        A4     Em
Nobody knew his claim to fame
Bm           G2
He broke the old rules
A4
steeped in tradition
D    G2          A4    Em
He tore the holy veil away
Bm           G2
Questioning those in
  A4
powerful positions
D          G2          A4
Running to those who called his
Em
name
Bm         G2       A4
But nobody knew his secret ambition
D      G2       A4
Was to give his life
Bm    A4  D  A4 Bm
away


D          D4
His rage, shaking the temple
D           D4
His word to the wise
Em
His hand, healing on the seventh
day
G2        A4        Bm
His love wearing no disguise

D                     D4
Some say, death to the radical
D             D4
He's way out of line
Em
Some say, praised be the miracle
G2          A4      Bm
God sends a blessed sign
G2         A4        Bm
A blessed sign for troubled times

Bm    G2       A4
Nobody knew his secret ambition
D      G2        A4     Em
Nobody knew his claim to fame
Bm           G2

away

Ohh...              oh... oh...
