Fear  will take the Best of us,
 Then come  back for the rest of us,
 Its rabid  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 gu-ard,
 And it will steal your he-art.
There's no thief like fear, no,
There's no thief like fear, no,
Oh,  oh oh oh,  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 bl-ind
 right before my ey-es
There's no thief like fear, no,
There's no thief like fear, no,
Oh,  oh oh oh,  oh oh oh,  oh oh oh
 Set me free,  set me free
 Oh my God  set me free
 From the 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 oh,  oh oh oh
Oh,  oh oh oh,  oh oh oh,  oh oh oh
 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
 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.
