Dirty prison clothes
.
They gave him twelve months
To serve that first year
Times ten made a decade
Stuck inside there.
Chip away the flesh
To reach a heart of stone
Always hang up angrily
That prison hell-a-phone.
.
First one; then both parents died
While he sat inside that cell
Adding to his guilt
Which led to endless hell.
.
So he walks his laps
And he circles his wagons
To lose his old ways
And to slay his old dragons
.
Finally released (into homelessness)
With no job and no money
On his way out they said...
"SEE YOU SOON"
While thinking it funny.
.
What's the worst that could happen?
Considering his plight
As he wanders 'round aimlessly
Through YOUR town at night.
.
What could go wrong
with that prison door's revolving?
But for Jesus and the Bible
And his soul now evolving.
.
Twisting in the winds of change...
