[Intro 1]
[D]

[Verse 1]
Young man [D]up [G]on the hillside
[D]Teaching [A]new [Em]ways
Each word winning them [Bm]over[G]
Each heart [A]a kindled [Bm]flame[G][D]
Old men watch from the [G]outside
[D]Guarding their pra[A]y[Em]
Threatened by the voice
of [Bm]the paragon[G]
Leading their [A]lambs away,
[Bm]lead[G]ing them far awa[A]y[F#m][Bm]

[Verse 2]
[Bm]Nobody [G]knew his secret amb[Bm]ition
[G]Nobody knew [A]his claim to [G]fame
[Bm]He broke t[G]he old rules
steeped in tra[Bm]dition
[G]He tore the [A]holy veil [G]away
[Bm]Questioning [G]those in
powerful posi[A]tion
[G]Running to those who [A]called his [G]name
But [Bm]nobody [G]knew his
secret [Bm]ambit[A]ion
[G]Was to give his lif[A]e awa[G]y[A][D]
[A]

[Verse 3]
His rage [D]shaking the [G]temple,
his [D]word to [A]the [Em]wise
His hand healing on the sev[Bm]enth [G]day
His love wearing [A]no dis[Bm]guise
[D]Some say death [G]to the radical
[D]He's way out of [A]line
[Em]Some say praise be the mirac[G]le
God sends a [F#m]blessed [Bm]sign
[G]A blessed sign for[F#m] troubled
[Bm]times

[Verse 4]
[Bm]Nobody [G]knew his secret amb[Bm]ition
[G]Nobody knew his [A]claim to [G]fame
He broke the old rules
steeped in tradition
[Bm]He t[G]ore the holy veil [A]away[G]
[Bm]Question[G]ing those in powerful position
