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!

Oh you taste so sweet on my tongue
You are so smooth
Rich and Hot
Crown me oh my King
King me with your Crown
before you bring me down
Crown Royal

God please give me some rest from this place
You almost let me leave without a trace
Why did you pull me back in?
If I left, would that be a sin?

Come on Father, tell me the truth God
Are you disciplining me with your iron rod?

What haven’t I learned yet, what more do you want me to do?
Give me a sign, Lord, Give me a clue

Why won’t you let me escape
I’m torn and I feel like I’ve been raped

I beg you Lord to let me leave this altar
I honor you, but my faith has faltered

Take me to the place I was at before
I trust you Lord, please open another door!

If you don’t want me to feel this way,
Then please Lord, give me a reason to stay!

I can’t drink enough to numb this pain
Jumping out of my skin
Going insane…

What do I have to do to get you to look my way?
What price do I have to pay?

Haven’t I paid enough?
Haven’t I shown you my strengths?
Sometimes I think I’m tough
But why don’t You go to great lengths?

I’m hurting and scared
But you don’t seem to care..

How much more do I have to endure
Please God, send me a cure!

I’m in love, like I’ve never seen
Does anyone out there know what I mean?

Just between us baby
Your thoughts
Your fears
Your desires

Just between us baby
Our goals
Our hopes
Our love

Can’t we keep it between us baby?

Instead:

Why does everyone else and everything else have to wedge in between You and Me?

Just between us, baby, I want our love to be

Why does everything else mean more than our love?

The look of love is in your eyes,
A look your smile can’t disguise
The look of love
It’s saying so much more than just words could ever say to me

And what my heart has heard, well, it takes my breath away
I can hardly wait to hold you, feel my arms around you
How long I have waited
Waited just to love you
Now that I have found you

I guess you’re asking me to wait a little longer
But I’ve hit the props baby
They are cutting me
No one around to protect me from the props but me

I care so much for you baby
But I am the only one who knows what’s best for me
I know I found what’s best for me in you
But what’s best for me now is not best for you now

Time ticks away like a dying heart in my chest
Waiting
Waiting

I’ll continue to wait
But only if I can move forward as I wait for my reward
I feel I am standing still
Allowing the props to cut me

I can’t hurt me anymore
I love me
I’m the only one who knows how to love me
This is not the way

I can show you the way when you’re ready baby
Take your time
I’ll be there when you’re ready

I just can’t be here anymore…
