Young men, up on the hillside

Teaching their ways

Each word, winning them over

Each heart a kindled flame



Old men, watch from the outside

Guarding their prey

Threated by the voice of a paragon

Leading their lambs away

Leading them far away



Nobody knew his secret ambition

Nobody knew his claim to fame

He broke the old rules steeped in tradation

He tore the holy veil away

Questioning those in powerful positions

Running to those who called his name

But nobody knew his secret ambition

Was to give his life away



His rage, shaking the temple

His word to the wise

His hand, healing on the seventh day

His love wearing no disguise



Some say, death to the radical

He's way out of line

Some say, praised be the miracle

God sends a blessed sign

A blessed sign for troubled times



Nobody knew his secret ambition

Nobody knew his claim to fame

He broke the old rules steeped in tradation

He tore the holy veil away

Questioning those in powerful positions

Running to those who called his name

But nobody knew his secret ambition

Was to give his life away...



Ohh... Oh... Oh...



Nobody knew his secret ambition

Nobody knew his claim to fame

He broke the old rules steeped in tradation

He tore the holy veil away

Questioning those in powerful positions

Running to those who called his name

But nobody knew his secret ambition

Was to give his life away



Oooohh...



No no, No no

I tell you nobody knew

Until he gave his life away

No
