The Outlaw Lyrics - Singles - Larry Norman

Some say he was an outlaw that he roamed across the land 

With a band of unschooled ruffians and few old fishermen 

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 

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 

That he spoke in many parables that few could understand 

But the people sat for hours just to listen to this man 

Some say he was a sorcerer, a man of mystery 

He could walk upon the water, he 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 

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 so they nailed him to a tree
