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?
