i think it is about a man from england who becomes a missionary. he travels
to peru to aid the struggling people there, but they capture him and torture him
instead. as time passes by, neighboring tribes and villages learn of the captive in
the peruvian town. this song chronicles his epic struggle for survival as he endures
lashings, floggings, lynchings, and the firing squad every day. towards the end of the
song, which the lyrics clearly illustrate, he escapes to neighboring brazil. but he is
still so used to the harsh and primitive lifestyle of the mud-covered world that he
assimilates to the less-than-favorable conditions
this song is so beautiful
