I remember Christopher

such a man

so brave and tall



he took the baby Jesus

in his arms

across the waterfall



people cried, "he's holy!

he's a saint not a man!"

all at once it was written

in the book of the land



Christopher, Mr. Christopher

why won't they leave you alone?

Christopher, Mr. Christopher

why won't they leave you alone?



there was Mary Margaret

a Christian lady

dressed in black



she believed St. Christopher

helped her find

a way back



she told him all her secrets

and the dreams of her years

so when they took that saint away

all that's left were her tears



Mary cried "they're crazy!

the world is changing too fast!"

it was then she discovered

that her faith couldn't last



Christopher, Mr. Christopher

why won't they leave you alone?

Christopher, Mr. Christopher

why won't they leave you alone?



Christopher, Mr. Christopher

why won't they leave you alone?

Christopher, Mr. Christopher

why won't they leave you alone?
