Unclean, unclean
That is what they call me
Labeled and put outside of the city
Then forget me
Worthless, worthless
That is what I became
I started believing the shame
They would put on my name
I am a leper, and I've lived forever
Alone with my torn clothes
Maybe I'd be better off dead instead
Instead, instead
I'm tryna fight against these lies
Why do you torment me?
I'm asking you why
You let this plague come on my life?
Time only passes me by I'm still asking why
Mercy, mercy
Somebody have mercy
Who is this man coming up into the city?
Could it be Jesus?
I've heard some things about you
Could they be true?
I am a leper, and I've lived forever
Alone with my torn clothes
Maybe I'd be better off dead instead
Instead instead
I'm tryna fight against these lies
Why do you torment me?
I'm asking you why
You let this plague come on my life?
Time only passes me by I'm still asking
Why I'm here alone and
All I do is roam around and round I go
I know they say that your a savior
Know your touch can make me better
So I'm running closer, closer
I'm tryna fight against these lies
Why do you torment me?
I'm asking you why
You let this plague come on my life?
Time only passes me by I'm still asking why
(I'm tryna fight against these lies)
Why (do you torment me)
I've been tormented for so long
(I'm asking you why)
(You let this plague come on my life)
(Time only passes me by)
I'm asking a question
(I'm still asking)
