The Outlaw Songtext
von Dana Key

Some say he was an outlaw
That he roamed across the land
With a band of unschooled ruffians
And a few old fishermen
And no one knew just where he came from
Or exactly what he′d done
But they knew it must be something bad
That kept him on the run

They said he was an outlaw
They said he was an outlaw

Some say he was a poet
That he'd stand upon the hill
And his voice could calm an angry crowd
Or make the waves stand still
And that he spoke in many parables
That few could understand
But the people sat for hours
To listen to this man


They said he was an outlaw
They said he was an outlaw
They said he was an outlaw
They said he was an outlaw

Some say he was a sorcerer
A man of mystery
That he could walk upon the water
And make a blind man see
And that he conjured wine at weddings
And did tricks with fish and bread
And he talked of being born again
And raised people from the dead

They said he was an outlaw
They said he was an outlaw

Some say a politician
Who spoke of being free
He was followed by the masses
On the shores of Galilee
And he spoke out against corruption
And he bowed to no decree
They feared his strength and power
They nailed him to a tree


They said he was an outlaw
They said he was an outlaw
They said he was an outlaw
They said he was an outlaw
They said he was an outlaw
They said he was an outlaw
