lyrics

Some say that once there was a man
Who walked the earth when time began
And his message spread throughout the world
But it's meaning, they got lost in words
And he said it loud and he said it clear
For those who'd listen and those who'd hear
The speaker of the sacred words
Said things that they had never heard.

Chorus
And he spoke of peace and he spoke of love
And of God being everyone of us
And do no wrong and take no life
And in darkness there would shine a light
And everything would be alright
And then we crucified him.

Some say that once there was a man
Told stories of a promised land
Who healed the sick and fed the poor
His words were wise and his heart was pure
And those who write and those who read
Found truth and hope in what he said
The speaker of the sacred words
Said things that they had never heard.

Chorus

Some say that once there was a man
Who died so we could understand
How a father sent his only son
To save the souls of everyone
And he cried out with his dying breath
So the world would hear and not forget
The speaker of the sacred words
Said things that they had never heard.

Chorus x2
