14 years behind these bars A 12-foot square of cold cement I've lost nearly everything For a crime of which I'm innocent But all my suffering's A light and momentary pain While the weight of An endless glory still remains to me Dead man walking down the hall To meet a mess of wood and wire They lead me where men fear to tread But towards the thing I most desire For all my suffering's A light and momentary pain While the weight of An endless glory still remains to me So throw the switch, son I know you ain't got a choice The dawn is coming All is well, I will rejoice
