He said goodbye to the angels of heaven
And he came to Earth as a common man
He tought us how we could love one another
There was healing in His hands
There where those who believed and followed Him
And there where those who wanted Him dead
They thought the grave would silence Him forever
But they found out instead
CHORUS:
You can close your eyes
You can say it's a lie
You can stick your head in the sand
You can turn away even try to explain
He was just another man
When they nailed Him to the cross by His hands and His feet and they put Him in the ground
Three days later everybody found out that ya can't
No you Can't Keep a Good Man Down, no
No you can't keep a good man down
I hear you say that it all sounds crazy
It's a good story but it can't be true
How could a man who was dead and buried
Mean a thing to me and you
Here we are two thousand years later
And still the choice is just the same
You can say that ya don't believe it
But it doesn't change a thing
REPEAT CHORUS
BRIDGE:
I can take you to the hill where they hung Him on a cross
I can take you the empty tomb
I can tell you He's alive 'cause He lives in me
But the rest is up to you
REPEAT CHORUS TWICE
