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?
