lyrics

PRISON SONG by K. Dennis

Sittin' here watching the clouds roll by
Through the spaces between the bars
Rollin' wherever they want to today
They're free like the wind and the stars

A flash of anger counted for more
Than the years hangin' in when the craziness hit
Sentenced to solitary no set term
The jailers hit me right where it hurt

They took away the future that gave me hope
The life that gave me life
I'll try to forgive and I won't forget
The ones who were cruel

If I sit here long enough more clouds will come by
Driftin' slow into my point of view
And that's how I spend most of my days
The nights turn deep deep blue

They took away the future that gave me hope
The life that gave me life
I know I'll forgive and I won't forget
The ones who were cruel
And the ones who were kind

I'll remember the ones who were kind

Sittin' here watching the clouds roll by
Through the spaces between the bars
Rollin' wherever they want to today
They're free like the wind and the stars
They're free like the wind and the stars

Remember the ones who were cruel
Remember the ones who were kind
