Why must I be the thief?
|
Why must I be the thief?
|
Oh Lord please won¡¯t you tell me,
|
Why must I be the thief.
|
|
Why must I be the thief
|
He said to the hanging man
|
And how come you¡¯re the only one
|
That¡¯s black around, that always stares
|
|
Why must I be the thief
|
He asked of the hanging man
|
And how come you¡¯re the only one
|
Who lived with an open hand
|
Now why must I be the thief
|
You¡¯ve cursed with many clouds
|
And the hanging man without his hand
|
Looked beyond his heart
|
|
The thief was drawn to the cross
|
To share that other¡¯s fate
|
But the Jesus man said ¡°Not now¡±
|
¡°My brother not now, it¡¯s far too late¡±
|
(far too late) (7x)
|
|
Do what you must
|
Take what you can
|
Steal the pride from every heart,
|
Every angered man (3x)
|
I am the thief
|
I am the thief
|
And you will run
|
Yes and you will hide
|
But I¡¯ll get you then
|
Yes I will
|
Because of you, because it¡¯s justified.
|
I will get you yet
|
Cause it¡¯s justified
|
I will get you yet
|
It¡¯s justified
|
I will get you yet
|
It¡¯s justified
|
