[based on "IF ONLY :" by Christina M. Riggs]
Here I sit in my cell
Plain white, stone cold walls
All alone with my thoughts, memories
And my regrets to keep me company
WISHING ONLY IF . .
Dreaming of holding my babies
Hearing their tiny voices and laughter
Watching them grow up
Dreaming I could see and touch
My Mom without the gla**
IF ONLY . .
IF ONLY . .
I HAD REACHED OUT!
Dreaming of feeling wet gra** on bare feet
The sun on my face, wind in my hair
Watching the stars
Feeling peace, hope, happiness, and belonging
IF ONLY . . . I' D REACHED OUT!
Reality, I' m alone on DEATH ROW
With no sense of hope, peace, or happiness
Day in, day out, I relive my failures, regrets
And that terrible night, knowing I'm
To blame for losing my babies
Realizing that what I dream of most
Could have been reality for me
Could have been reality for them
IF ONLY . . . I' D REACHED OUT!
Here I sit in my cell
Plain white, stone cold walls
All alone with my thoughts, memories
And my regrets to keep me company
WISHING ONLY IF . .
I 'D REACHED OUT!
