He must be recognised
I'll make a fool of myself
It's time to take the prize
I'll make a fool of myself
We know he's the Messiah
It's the time that God appointed,
There's one more thing to do
He has to be anointed!
The ointment costs too much
I'll make a fool of myself.
They'll shower me with reproach
I'll make a fool of myself.
If Elijah isn't coming
To be herald of the kingdom
The job still needs doing -
It'll have to be a woman.
It will bring me shame
I'll make a fool of myself.
But, for the sake of his name,
I'll make a fool of myself.
