Christian finds "The Book" and suddenly starts to look like the hero of our story
lyrics
GO CHRISTIAN GO
Why does the blood run cold in my veins,
When people start to talk of names,
When I was a child this cit of doom,
Was not a place of constant gloom,
But bright and happy - where children's cries,
Echoed like anthems to the skies,
And hung like the scent of a perfumed flower
To sweeten the air of that day, that hour.
Such was the world when I was named,
But soon that world so greatly changed,
In passing time our sense grew dulled,
Illusion thick like habit lulled
Our hearts, our minds our souls to sleep,
And there we remained in slumber deep,
Till kindled deep inside I heard
Some song of love and holy word,
Some force that then became
The distant stirring of my name and it said
Go Christian go … tell the world you know,
Take the Book in your hand
And tell the land that you know Christian, know .. it said:
Go Christian, go .. tell the world you know
Take the Book in your hand and tell the land
That you know Christian know
You call me fool, perhaps I am,
At least I'm not a frightened man,
There have been more me more fool than me
Who've changed the course of destiny,
You say the book means pain and fear,
Can that be worse than living here.
Don't make choose between the two,
Of being me or loving you,
For if I have to make a choice,
I'll listen to the voice that tells me:
Go Christian go … tell the world you know,
Take the Book in your hand
And tell the land that you know Christian, know, and it said:
Go Christian, go .. tell the world you know
Take the Book in your hand and tell the land
That you know Christian know
