I did this as a matter of principle I did this if the truth be told I did this as a way of serving notice I did this to regain control There is a window behind these wounds I see the heart of God You got your arms stretched out And the nails go in There is a field where the burdened find rest The lovers learn to taste You got your arms stretched out
And the warmed embrace I don't succumb to the heat of the moment Where the raw nerve of emotions hangs loose I understand the sacrifices made on my behalf If you understand i have done the same for you Out in the field where the burdened find rest The lovers learn to taste You got your arms stretched out Oh and the chains fall away
