Lyrics

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
If I was born two thousand years ago
Somewhere in the Middle East
With no Bibles there for me to hold
I wonder what I would think
If I wasn't from this century
And Jesus stood in front of me
Would I be the Pharisee?
Too stuck in my head to believe
It's easy to say I'd follow Christ
When I grew up hearin' Him preached
But if I was a man from way back then
And I stood at Calvary
Would I follow Jesus
Or would I be a Pharisee?
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
La-da-da-da-da-da
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
These days, I feel so cynical
Convinced of what I believe
Oh, I wonder if my heart's still capable
Of changin' so drastically
Oh, if I wasn't from this century
And Jesus stood in front of me
Would I be the Pharisee?
Too stuck in my head to believe
It's easy to say I'd follow Christ
When I grew up hearin' Him preached
But if I was a man from way back then
And I stood at Calvary
Would I follow Jesus
Or would I be a Pharisee?
Like John, would I be by His side?
Or like Peter, would I just deny?
Would I be so stuck in my mind
That I never opened my eyes?
Oh, if I was a man from way back then
And I stood at Calvary
Would I follow Jesus?
Oh, would I follow Jesus?
Or would I be a Pharisee?
