about

words & music by Stephen Bautista


I never fully understood
why you agreed to save us
when you knew the price you had to pay
was pain beyond endurance
I know if I were in your shoes
I wouldn't hesitate
to leave this world of fools

Chorus
but you never did
you never budged an inch
you never did
you never even flinched
you could've left us all
and wrote us off as a lost cause
but you never did

you freely took that heavy cross
when you could've easily left it
you let them pierce your mighty hands
when you had the power to stop them
you could've flown at lightning speed
when they challenged you
to come down off that tree

Chorus
but you never did
you never budged an inch
you never did
you never even flinched
you could've left us all
and wrote us off as a lost cause
but you never did

Bridge
you stuck through all the pain
and endured our guilt and shame
when you really could have left us
you really could have left us

Chorus
but you never did
you never budged an inch
you never did
you never even flinched
you could've left us all
and wrote us off as a lost cause
but you never did

you really could have left us
but you never did
