Joseph, Who Understood

rumors are flying
all over galilee these days
and mary i'm trying
to be cool

when my friends walk by 'em
they cannot look at me in the eye
baby i'm trying

you're asking me to believe in too many things
you're asking me to believe in too many things

i know this child
was sent here to heal our broken time
and some things are bigger
than we know

when somehow you find out
that you lost a father to a god
well mary that's life

you're asking me to believe in so many things
you're asking me to believe in so many things

oh mary is he mine
mary is he mine
mary is he mine
mary is he mine
oh mary is he mine
mary is he mine
tell me is he

you're asking me to believe in too many things
you're asking me to believe in too many things

now mary he is mine
mary he is mine
mary is he mine
now mary he is mine
mary he is mine

you're asking me to believe in so many things
you're asking me to believe in so many things
