Jesus

Cat Stevens

They used to call him Jesus

Long time ago

They're still calling him Jesus

Don't you know

They crossed the wood and hanged him

A long time ago

They still misunderstand him

Those who don't know

And in the evening his love will lead the blind

In every secret corner there in your mind

They called him Gautama Buddha

Oh long time ago

He turned the world to order

Don't you know

He used to sit knowing

Oh long time ago

Where you and me were going

And in the evening his love will lead the blind
