You are the one who ransacked my life You are the one who stole my identity You are the one who locked me up You are the one who holds me hostage
I am a prisoner to a crime I didn’t commit
Why do you continue to talk? When everything you say is written in chalk The wind blows and it all gets swept away But it remains in my life day after agonizing day
I am a prisoner to a crime I didn’t commit
When will I see Shaw Shank Redemption? Where do I vote for the right to emancipation? How do I find my liberation? Why is forgiveness the key to my salvation?
I am a prisoner to a crime I didn’t commit
Give me my last supper, read me my final rights Take me home Lord, put an end to this fight Execute me, put me in the gas chamber I don’t want a ‘Stay’, I can’t live out the remainder
I am a prisoner to a crime I didn’t commit
Maybe someday DNA will set me free Despite my inheritance of misery Ironically you gave it gave it all to me And with it took my prison key
A final court hearing could clear my name You gave it to me at birth and it’s still the same!
