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 anymoreAnd 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 allYou 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 meAnd 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 ashamedOh, 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 meMan 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 seeYou wore the chains so I could be free
Yeah, yeah, you did that for me
Oh Lord, you did that for me
Oh Lord, you did that for me
You wore the chains, so I could be free
