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
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
