I don't have to cry anymore I don't have to worry about what's in store I've walked that road exhausted and poor I don't have to cry anymore And I don't have to know it all I don't have to be so proud and stand so tall I climbed that mountain only to fall I don't have to know it all You did that for me Oh, you did that for me You wore the chains so I could be free Yeah, yeah You did that for me And I don't have to be ashamed Hang my head or shoulder the blame Wondering if my life's been in vain
I don't have to be ashamed Oh, you did that for me Oh, you did that for me You wore the chains so I could be free Yeah, yeah You did that for me Man of sorrows Well acquainted with grief Drug down to the city dump Spread eagle on a cross beam Propped up like a scarecrow Nailed like a thief There for all the world to see You wore the chains so I could be free Yeah, yeah Oh Lord, you did that for me Oh Lord, you did that for me, You wore the chains so I could be free
