you did that for me

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
