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 anymore..
And 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.

Oh, you did that for me.
You wore the chains so I could be free.
Yeah, yeah.

You did that for me..
And 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.
Oh, 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 me..
Man 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 see..
You wore the chains so I could be free.

Yeah, yeah.
Oh Lord, you did that for me.
Oh Lord, you did that for me, You wore the chains so I could be free..
