Jesus had a son by Mary Magdalene and he rode the land like the man who went before
young Jesus raised him loud, mother Mary raised him proud and he tracked
the men who laid his father down
one day the Pilate died with the fire in his side Herod did die too not the way
he wanted to y’see the child knew the secrets of Egypt & Isis
Magdalene remembered when the people smiled and had been looser looser
than they’d been since the day young Jesus died public execution enhanced
by levitation fancy mutilation for 2.000 years of time
Jesus could walk on the water the man could dance on the sea of Galilee
but don’t try breathing the water miracles go only so far you see
so you think young Jesus Christ never a lady and you think young Mary
never saw him smile wide & free you won’t read it in the bible & if you
look you’re liable ta come across the truth about the man from Galilee she=
the man upon the water they had a son they had a daughter she hid them
from the slaughter in the deep Black Sea
God loved the son of Jesus Ol’ God got off on the spaklin’ daughter too, yes=
he did Jesus could walk on the water the man could dance on the Sea of Galilee
watch him dance watch him dance watch him dance dance dance
