It was said this Man brought only confusion
That He'd achieve His ends by any means
That the truth would bring revolution
And for once they were right
The truth set us free
The hearts of the captive were His only concern
And the powerful knew their days were ending
He was a man of no reputation
By the wise, considered a fool
Where he spoke about faith and forgiveness
In a time when the strongest arms ruled
But this man of no reputation
Loved the weak with relentless affection
And he loved all those poor in spirit just as they were
He was a man of no reputation

Where a proph-et in rags gives hope to a fear-ful world

In a time when the strongest arms ruled
