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 asked of 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 to the hanging man
And how come you're the only one
Who gives me open arms?
Why must I be the thief
He cursed and then he cried
And the hanging man held out his hand
And looked beyond his scars

The thief was drawn to the cross
To share that other's fate
But the Jesus man says "Not now"
"My brother not now, it's far too late"
(Far too late)
Far too late
(Far too late)
Far too late
(Far too late)
Far too late
(Far too late)
Far too late
(Far too late)
Far too late
(Far too late)
Far too late
(Far too late)
Far too late

Do what you must
Take what you can
Steal the heart from every man
Every angry man
Every angry man
Every angry man

I am the thief
I am the thief
And you can run
Yes you can run
But I will get you yet
Yes I will
Because of you, because it's just your pride
It's justified

I will get you yet
Cause it's justified
I will get you yet
It's justified
