no lost cause - paid for lyrics

[verse 1]
i broke the law and i got caught, it was a minor offense
i never thought what i was taught was wrong, so in my defense
i can’t be tried if i defied, i didn’t know the difference
they say the law is still the law, this doesn’t make any sense
is this a dream? i’m gonna scream, they just don’t want my two cents
the facts are clear and now i’m here and waiting for the sentence
what will they say? how will i pay? i never felt quite this tense
i guess i’ll pray i’ll be ok and wait for them to commence

[chorus]
how could i? why would i? i never knew that i was wrong
why should i try to fight? cuz now i know i’m not that strong

[verse 2]
the words i say give me away, there’s nothing more i can do
but sit and hear as they reveal the life i lived in its truth
can’t walk away i have to stay, i feel the shame on my face
then in my ear i hear the words, “my son, i’ve taken your place”
i’m walked away, i wanna stay, and it’s right then that i turn
to hear them say he’s pay and in my place he’s gonna burn
i hit the floor, i can’t ignore the fact my crimes put him there
all by himself with no one else, come on now, this isn’t fair

[chorus]
how could you? why would you? i know that you did no wrong
why should you not try to? i could never be that strong
[bridge]
i know you paid for me
i know you paid for me
i know you paid for me
i know you paid for me

[verse 3]
as i walk away into the day i have to stop and reflect
on what was done for me so selflessly, i did not expect
why would he go? i just don’t know and what could i mean to him?
then i know i’m not alone and i stop to listen
i hear a voice, i see a man who says he paid just for me
he’s been released, he bought my peace, he came so i’d be set free
he gave me life, he took my strife, and now i’m always with him
and this new light i have inside i know will never grow dim

[chorus]
how could you? why would you? i know that you did no wrong
why should you not try to? i could never be that strong

[outro]
i know you paid for me
i know you paid for me
i know you paid for me
i know you paid for me
