Thief Songtext
von Ken

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 better off and always stands?

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 better off and always stands?
And why must I be the thief?


He asked the aged man
And how come you′re the only one
Who lived with open hands?

Why must I be the thief?

He cursed the fading clouds
The hanging man held up his hand
And looked beyond the sky
He climbed the cross
To share his brother's fate
Jesus said
Not now, my brother not now
It′s far too late
It's far too late

Far too late

Far too late
Far too late
Far too late


Do what you must
Take what you can
Stealing the pride from every heart
Of every angry man
Every angry man
Every angry man
Every angry man
Every angry man

I am the thief
I am the thief
And you′ll be one
And you'll be one
But I will get you then
Yes I will

You missed your flight
Missed your flight
Missed your flight
Missed your flight
Missed your flight
Missed your flight

Fly, fly
Fly, fly
Fly, fly
Fly, fly

I will get you then
It′s just goodbye
I will get you then
It's just goodbye

I will get you then
I will get you then
I will get you then
It's just goodbye
It′s just goodbye

It′s just goodbye
It's just goodbye
It′s just goodbye
It's just goodbye
It′s just goodbye
It's just goodbye
It′s just goodbye
