The Other Thief Lyrics

I.
Just a few feet from the Savior
Hanging on the cross
Dying was an aweful price to pay
How he'd like to start all over
And try to right the wrong
His wishes could have come true that day
Chorus:
So close, but yet so far away
Chances slowly slippin' away
Paradise was just a prayer away
So close, but yet so far away
II.
He heard another two men talking
Something 'bout eternal life
And oh it sounded too good to be true

Could this really be the Savior
Or is he out of his mind
He hangs his head and dies so confused
Chances slowly slippin' away. )
Paradise was just a prayer away )
So close, but yet so far away. )repeat
