Prisoner’s Lament

Danny Javier

[Verse 1]
I′ve been away, I've been alone
I′ve never been to your house
I never knew your children
I never met your smiles
Where are my friends?
How are they now?
Do they remember my name?
Don't look at me like a stranger
Some things remain the same

[Verse 2]
They called me a fool, they said I was dumb
To fight for my rights like a man
They took away my freedom
Thinking that could be done
My prison was hell, but heaven as well
Knowing that losing this fight
They can deny me my days
But they cannot hide what's right

[Pre-Chorus]
For freedom is a joy to me
And justice is my fight
My heart′s my shield
My conscience is my only guiding light

[Chorus]
For we were born, yes, you and I
As free as birds in flight
My children, I shall guarantee
Shall not be denied their right to be free
(Freedom, freedom, freedom, freedom)
(Freedom, freedom, freedom, freedom)

[Verse 2]
They called me a fool, they said I was dumb
To fight for my rights like a man
They took away my freedom
Thinking that could be done
Prison is hell, but heaven as well
Knowing that losing this fight
They can deny me my days
But they cannot hide what′s right

[Pre-Chorus]
For freedom is a joy to me
And justice is my fight
My heart's my shield
My conscience is my only guiding light

[Chorus]
For we were born, yes, you and I
As free as birds in flight
My children, I shall guarantee
Shall not be denied their right to be free
(Freedom, freedom, freedom, freedom)
(Freedom, freedom, freedom, freedom)
We shall be free
(Freedom, freedom, freedom, freedom)
