Imprisonment
This loss of freedom haunts him
As he watches a lowly ant crawl
Across the cold and damp cement floor
And over to a crack in the wall
Then shimmies its way out
How can he face these days that don't end
The freedom he longs to have
The reason he is here
He knows why
But he never will admit it
In his mind he knows he is innocent
He lays back and remembers the days
He still could have had
The warm sun on his face
Closing his eyes all he sees is all the blood
He just did what any man would do
Taking out a picture of his little girl
A quick smile and one lonely tear
Don't worry baby he can't hurt you anymore
And if the situation would face him
He would do it all over again
He screams out
"ONLY GOD CAN JUDGE ME"
As he watches a lowly ant crawl
Across the cold and damp cement floor
And over to a crack in the wall
Then shimmies its way out
How can he face these days that don't end
The freedom he longs to have
The reason he is here
He knows why
But he never will admit it
In his mind he knows he is innocent
He lays back and remembers the days
He still could have had
The warm sun on his face
Closing his eyes all he sees is all the blood
He just did what any man would do
Taking out a picture of his little girl
A quick smile and one lonely tear
Don't worry baby he can't hurt you anymore
And if the situation would face him
He would do it all over again
He screams out
"ONLY GOD CAN JUDGE ME"
