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
