(Dennis DeYoung)
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?
