Crown of Thorns lyrics

I wear a crown of thorns on my head,

but I carry my troubles on my shoulders instead.

See the blood running down my face,

they are the tears of the human race.

Crown of thorns,

cover my head with no more lies.

Take my heart,

lift it up to paradise.

All I want,

to know you left without the pain.

Crown of thorns,

hear me cry in pain.

I hold a cross close to my heart,

but the cross means nothing when I'm still apart.

Don't keep your love locked up inside.

You hold the key, let it open your mind.

Crown of thorns,

cover my head with no more lies.

Take my heart,

lift it up to paradise.

All I want,

to know you left without the pain.

Crown of thorns,

hear me cry in pain.  

We are the children living in sin.

We try to fight, but we never win.

Love and compassion's all we need.

Though we are running, but we're gonna be free.

Crown of thorns,

cover my head with no more lies.

Take my heart,

lift it up to paradise.

All I want,

to know you left without the pain.

Crown of thorns,

hear me cry in pain.
