Dana Key is bij de Heer

Jeugdsentiment ... Met een donkere rand. Dana Key van het duo De Garma & Key is op 56-jarige leeftijd overleden. Gezien bij Challies, met meer uitleg hier.

Ik dacht dat de tekst van 'The Outlaw' oorspronkelijk niet van Dana Key was (maar van Larry Norman), maar vond die toch de moeite waard om hem nog eens te posten. Vooral in het licht van de laatste zin ...

THE OUTLAW


Some say He was an outlaw
That He roamed across the land
With a band of unscholled ruffians
And a few old fishermen
No one knew just where He came rom
Or exactly what He'd done
But they said it must be something bad
That kept Him on the run

Said He was an outlaw

Some say He was a poet
That He'd stand on a hill
And His voice could calm a angry crowd
And make the waves stand still
That He spoke in many parables
That few could understand
But the people could sar for hours
Just to listen to this man

They said He was an outlaw

Some say He was a sorcerer
A man of mystery
He would walk upon the water
He could make a blind man see
That He conjured wine at weddings
And did tricks with fish and bread
That He talked of being born again
And raised people from the dead
They say He was an outlaw

Some say a politician
Who spoke of being free
He was followed by the masses
On the shores of Galilee
He spoke out against corruption
And He bowed to no decree
And they feared His strenght and power
So they nailed Him to a tree

Said He was an outlaw

Some say He was the Son of God
A man above all men
But He came to be a servant
And to set us free from sin
And that's who I believe He was
Cause that's who I believe
And I think we should get ready
Cause it's time for us to leave
