I am in jail working in the sick ward.
I know some of these souls are
Locked here for keeps
And I pray, oh my lord, oh my lord!
Where's the mercy anymore in this world?
Most of the guards hate these men.
They treat them like trash
And throw away the extra food.
God in heaven knows it's a sin.
When will it end?
My heart goes out because I'll be
Leaving here soon
While they stay locked away
All jails are hell and so like tombs
they can't even see the moon
or the sun in the day.
God help the lost souls I pray.
And their victims as well
May the peace we all seek
Someday come
Is it fair for a man to
Hurt another man?
Is it also right to lock him away
and be done?
My heart goes out though some are
Vicious beasts
What made them the way
that they are?
and what caused the police
to hate those they see
and stand judgement
with a cold callas heart?
I ask you.
The system is broken let this serve
as a token
Whats done without god is cold
man knows no truth and
justice isn't served
by a system ran by numbers
and not souls
