about

A song from the point of view of Barabbas, who can't understand how a carpenter from Nazareth can be more of a threat to Rome than he is.

lyrics

How can a man like Jesus be more dangerous than I?
How can a dove bring mighty eagles down?
I watched him through that day of doubt, I watched a good man die.
He died the king of dreams without a crown.

And in my dream it's dark at noon, I'm bleeding on the tree
There's no more fight, I know I'll soon be dead
And angry men and women jeer, they hurl their hate at me
I wake then, and I'm filled with fear and dread
And all because this Jesus died instead.

And I wonder can they see it?
And do the Romans know?
In letting me go free
They've crucified me even so.

And still I see him, writhing, pinned in agony and shame
His body lashed by driving wind and rain.
I know that I'm the one did wrong and yet he took the blame
He died instead and suffered long in pain.

And I wonder can they see it?
And do the Romans know?
In letting me go free
They've crucified me even so.

I’ve met men like Jesus - dreaming of a better world
And strangely, I have found it seems the case
In the world there’s not a thing more dangerous I am told
Than he who wants to make a better place
And that is what I see in Jesus’ face
So go on Jesus, go die in my place
