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

Said He was an outlaw
Said He was an outlaw

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

Said He was an outlaw
Said He was an outlaw

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

Said He was an outlaw
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
He spoke out against corruption, and he bowed to no decree
And they feared his strength and power, they nailed him to a tree
Said He was an outlaw
Said He was an outlaw
Said He was an outlaw
Said He was an outlaw
Said He was an outlaw
Said He was an outlaw
Said He was an outlaw
Said He was an outlaw
