There were times when I thought there was nothing in this world, there was nothing in this world for me
Everywhere I looked there was trouble in my life, trouble far as I could see
Hey, there's a man doing alright, what's his philosophy?
He come over here and whispered in my ear
You're the blue, you're the Christ, you're the man, and the mother Mary
So who am I so nervous and shy to be brilliant and talented?
It's the light, not the dark that frightens us most and the power lies in our head
You're the blue, you're the Christ, you're the man, and the mother Mary

Ooh, playing small doesn't help at all
The world needs the things you give
Switch yourself on, turn the pressure on
You're the blue, you're the Christ, you're the man, and the mother Mary
You're the blue, you're the Christ, you're the man, and the mother Mary
You're the blue, you're the Christ, you're the man, and the mother Mary
There were times when I figured there's plenty in this world, there's plenty in this world for me
Anytime I see some trouble in my life, it becomes an opportunity
Now there's a chance to make the world dance, you do it unconsciously
Hold this wind to turn into spring
You're the blue
You're the blue
You're the blue
You're the man, and the mother Mary
You're the blue
You're the blue
You're the Christ, you're the man, and the mother Mary
You're the blue
You're the blue
You're the man, and the mother Mary


You're the blue

You're the Buddha
And the Mother Mary
You're the Buddha
You're the Buddha
