The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I was standing down in Jerusalem Town one day
I was standing down in Jerusalem Town one day
I was standing down in Jerusalem Town one day
Singing... I am the way
I can walk on the water and I can raise the dead
I can walk on the water and I can raise the dead
I can walk on the water and I can raise the dead
It's easy... I'm the way
This song has a romantic part to it
Don't tell nobody but I kissed Magdalene
Don't tell nobody but I kissed Magdalene
Don't tell nobody but I kissed Magdalene
Right on the mouth
I said Mary it's okay I'm the way
This is the pitiful part
Every son of God gets a little hard luck sometimes
Every son of God gets a little hard luck sometimes
Every son of God gets a little hard luck sometimes
Specially when he goes around saying he's the way
I am the way
I am the way
I'm the way
