I don't have to cry anymore
I don't have to worry
Bout what's in store
Walk that road
Exhausted and poor
I don't have to cry anymore

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
You did that for me
You wore the chains
So I could be free
You did that for me

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

You did that for me
You did that for me
You wore the chains
So I could be free
You did that for me

Man of sorrows, well acquainted with grief
Drug down to the city dump
Spread-eagle on the 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
You did that for me
