No Thief Like Fear

03.No Thief Like Fear

.

Fear will take the best of us

Then come back for the rest of us

Its raging hunger never satisfied

It's closer than a brother

And more jealous than a lover

Who holds you while it swallows you alive

Let down your guard

And it will steal your heart

.

There's no thief like fear, no

There's no thief like fear, no

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

.

I've tried to blame bureaucracy

The weak-knees of hypocrisy

And the cruel and shifting winds of circumstance

But I know insecurity

Is the worst of my own enemies

He sings his lonely song and I will dance

As he robs me blind

Right before my eyes

.

There's no thief like fear, no

There's no thief like fear, no

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

.

Set me free, set me free

Oh my God set me free

From these chains holding me

Oh my God set me free

.

There's no thief like fear, no

There's no thief like fear, no

There's no thief like fear, no

There's no thief like fear, no

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

.

I am free, I am free

Oh my God has set me free

From these chains I am released

For my God has set me free

.

I am free, I am free

Oh my God has rescued me

From these chains I am released

For my God has set me free
