Secret Ambition

 Young man up on the hillside

 Teaching new ways

 Each word winning them over

 Each heart a kindled flame

 Old men watch from the outside

 Guarding their prey

 Threatened by the voice of the paragon

 Leading their lambs away

 Leading them far away

 CHORUS:

 Nobody knew His secret ambition

 Nobody knew His claim to fame

 He broke the old rules steeped in tradition

 He tore the holy veil away

 Questioning those in powerful position

 Running to those who called His name

 But nobody knew His secret ambition

 Was to give His life away

 His rage shaking the temple

 His word to the wise

 His hand healing on the seventh day

 His love wearing no disguise

 Some say, "Death to the radical

 He's way out of line."

 Some say, "Praise be the miracle

 God sends a blessed sign.
