Thank You
Thank you for believing in me.
Thank you for setting me free.
Free in the spirit and not in the flesh,
Has made my bed a better place to rest.
It is because of friends like you,
Who care so much, I am able to stand strong
And hold on, Even though I miss the human touch,
Your love and support means so much to me.
Has touched my soul that no eyes can see.
Life is hard, I cannot lie,
Its been so hard I've wanted to cry.
But to know that you are all my friends,
Who will fight for me until I'm free,
Has given me hope, courage and trust,
That we will one day get the verdict that is just.
Thank you for caring.
Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for the love.
And most important,
I thank God from up above, for blessing me with friends like you
So wonderful and so true...
Thank you...

Today
Today, Tomorrow
Today you are free,
Tomorrow you could be me.
Wrongfully accused, Mentally abused,
And locked up in the state's custody.
Kill ! Kill ! Kill !
cry citizens of the state
Be careful what you ask for, because it could be your fate.
This system is filled with error but no one seems to care.
We want the death penalty !
Even for those who shouldn't be there !
Today, its me, Tomorrow it will be you.
With the system we've got It makes you vulnerable too.
Wake up !!!!
Before you are locked up !!!!
For something you didn't do,
All because of a system You thought was just and true....

Doing Time On Death Row
Doing time on death row.
I've met a lot of people I didn't know.
Just a stroke of a pen and we became friends,
And our love forever more.
Sometimes I sit back and think About the life I live,
The people that come to me, And ask of nothing to give.
It seems like their lives are more Chaotic than mine,
I'm the one in prison, but they are the ones doing time.
This life is so strange, But yet
so real, I find myself on death row,
Behind people I didn't kill. I believe in you, the people I've met have said.
I will fight for you, Until you're free, Or I'm dead.
Doing time on death row, I've found peace and love I didn't know.
Not because of contentment, or resentment,
But because of the love that was vouched Forever more.
