Why must I be the thief?
Why must I be the thief?
Oh Lord please wont you tell me,
Why must I be the thief.
Why must I be the thief
He said to the hanging man
And how come youre the only one
Thats black around, that always stares
Why must I be the thief
He asked of the hanging man
And how come youre the only one
Who lived with an open hand
Now why must I be the thief
Youve 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 others fate
But the Jesus man said Not now
My brother not now, its 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 Ill get you then
Yes I will
Because of you, because its justified.
I will get you yet
Cause its justified
I will get you yet
Its justified
I will get you yet
Its justified
