Christopher, Mr. Christopher

Styx


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?
