N. Giraldo, P. Giraldo, M. Grombacher)



Just like every cross you ever carried, every badge you ever wore

Every vow you ever taken, every oath you ever swore

Every kiss you ever stolen, every moment that you waste

Every thing you ever loved, and all you come to hate



Chorus:

It's a great temptation, in your hour of need

But there's no shortcut to salvation, searchin' for the Kingdom Key



Just like every vision you neglected, every dream you left to die

Every hope that you rejected, every truth that was a lie

Every road you ever travelled, everyone you turned away

Every thing you ever loved, and all that you betrayed



(chorus)



And the light before him was all that he could see

Like fingerprints on the hands of glory, wrapped 'round the rosary

His love was like a chain, that would not set him free, would not set him free

Lonely soul on a mission of mercy, yeah



Just like every cross you ever carried, every badge you ever wore

Every vow you ever taken, every oath you ever swore

Every thing you ever loved, and all you come to hate



(chorus repeats 2x)
