thief

I tried my hardest

I did my best

so why do I feel like a failure?

stuck inside a prison

of my own making

I, alone, am the jailer

and I am guilty

of whatever crimes you see

Lord, take the thief inside of me

I did what was needed

I played my part

so why did I end up alone?

I needed somebody

but nobody stood up

now I'm out here on my own

and I am lonely

in need of dignity

Lord, take the thief inside of me
