[Verse 1]
I did this as a matter of principle
I did this, if the truth be told
I did this as a way of serving notice
I did this to regain control

[Chorus 1]
There is a window behind these wounds
I see the heart of God
You got your arms stretched out
And the nails go in
There is a field where the burdened find rest
The lovers learn to taste
You got your arms stretched out
And the warm embrace

[Verse 2]
I don't succumb to the heat of the moment
Where the raw nerve of emotions hangs loose
I understand the sacrifices made on my behalf
If you understand I have done the same for you

[Chorus 2]
There is a window behind these wounds
I see the heart of God
You got your arms stretched out
And the nails go in
Out in the field where the burdened find rest
The lovers learn to taste
You got your arms stretched out
Oh, and the chains fall away, chains fall away
[Guitar Solo]
