Lyric Christopher, Mr. Christopher

I remember Christopher
such a man
so brave and tall

he took the baby Jesus
in his arms
across the waterfall

people cried, "he s holy!
he s a saint not a man!"
all at once it was written
in the book of the land

Christopher, Mr. Christopher
why won t they leave you alone?
Christopher, Mr. Christopher
why won t they leave you alone?

there was Mary Margaret
a Christian lady
dressed in black

she believed St. Christopher
helped her find
a way back

she told him all her secrets
and the dreams of her years
so when they took that saint away
all that s left were her tears

Mary cried "they re crazy!
the world is changing too fast!"
it was then she discovered
that her faith couldn t last

Christopher, Mr. Christopher
why won t they leave you alone?
Christopher, Mr. Christopher
why won t they leave you alone?

Christopher, Mr. Christopher
why won t they leave you alone?
Christopher, Mr. Christopher
why won t they leave you alone?
