Songtext von The Thief

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
