Thief (Remastered)

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 Who's a beggar, 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? Well why must I be the thief? He cursed and then he cried And the hanging man put out his hand And looked beyond his eye And the thief he climbed that 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 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 pride from every heart Every angered man Every angered man Every angered man I am the thief I am the thief And you may run Yes, and you may hide But I will get you yet Yes I will Because of you, 'cause it's just your pride Just your pride! Pride!, Pride! Pride!, Pride! Pride!, Pride! And I will get you yet Cos it's just your pride I will get you yet it's just your pride I will get you yet it's just your pride!
