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
