Why must I be a thief
He said to the hanging man
And how come you're the only one
Who's black around that always stands
Why must I be a thief
He asked to the hanging man
And how come you're the only one
Who gives with an open hand
Why must I be a thief
He cursed and then he cried
And the hanging man put out his hand
And looked beyond his eye
The thief he cried on the cross
To share that other's fate
But the Jesus man said not now
My brother not now its far too late
Far too late
Do what you must
Take what you can
Steal the pride from every heart of every angry man
Every angry man
Every angry man
Every angry man
I am the thief
I am the thief
And you can run
And you can hide
But I will get you yet, yes I will
Cause of you
Cause it's just your pride
GOd God... God Gooddddd!!!
I will get you yet
cause its just your pride
