VERSE 1:
Truth; it's like a hole in the roof of the place You set me free
Grace; it's like You spit in my face just to make my blind eyes see.
CHORUS:
You do nothing for me that I don't need. You do nothing for me.
You take nothing from me that I really need. You take nothing from me.
VERSE 2:
Life; it's like escaping the knife of a man who wants me dead
And joy; it's like the eyes of a boy watching as thousands eat his bread
Love, love, love, love; it's like the warmth of a glove when my hands are about to freeze.
Hope; it's like the sound of a boat to a blind man lost at sea
CHORUS:
You do nothing for me that I don't need. You do nothing for me.
You take nothing from me that I really need. You take nothing from me.
