[Verse One]
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?
[Verse Two]
Why must I be the thief
He said to the hanging man
And how come you're the only one
That's better off, and always stares
[Hook]
Why must I be the thief?
He asked of the hanging man
And how come you're the only one
Who gives me an open hand
Why must I be the thief?
He cursed and then he cried
And the hanging man held out his hand
And looked beyond the sky
[Verse Three]
The thief that climbed the cross
"We should have shared that other's fate."
But the Jesus man said "Not now"
"My brother, not now, it's far too late!"
(far too late) (7x)
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?
