Who was this “crazy” man?
Teaching and healing throughout the land.
Claiming to be sent by God to deliver his word.
This task given to a simple commoner, how absurd.
Why didn’t he select a king or a President?
Or at least a mansion’s rich resident?
Words from these men can go a long way,
As we prove by obeying them each day.
Maybe send a lawyer, judge or magistrate?
For many men have they sealed their fate,
But they judge by a different book,
Not through the heart do they look,
Maybe send a doctor to heal our ills,
I’m sure they too wish it was as simple as pills,
He’s sent rabbis, priests and cardinals apparently to look,
For their heads be buried too deep in their books,
Maybe send a teacher and such,
Would they concentrate on filling just the head too much?
Maybe send the soldier with all his might,
Maybe God didn’t want to start another fight?
So did I forget any position in life?
Who could bring his word without all the strife?
Of judging each man by comparing one to another,
This can only serve to turn brother against brother,
For no one starts at the same spot,
From the time we are all just little tots,
Till we turn wrinkled, withered, and gray,
Only we can find our way,
To a better world of joy and peace,
No more pain, we’ve killed the beast,
But take if from one of this “crazy” guy’s most loving fans,
God knew he had to send a “common” man.
For in the end we will see,
a common man like he,
shall save both you and me.
