Prisoner's Prayer |
| In my cell so dark and dreary |
| The touch of God’s hand I can feel |
| Asking Him to please forgive me |
| Before Him pleading I would kneel |
| I know someday beyond the sunset |
| He’ll call my name to make amends |
| Till that day I’ll keep on prayin' |
| And ask that he forgive my sins |
| Must I spend my life without a goal |
| In the staleness of this barren hole? |
| Must the ceiling always be my sky |
| Is this the way my youth must die? |
| Could fate no better world arrange |
| Than gloomy walls that never change |
| No stars or moon to shine on high |
| Is this the way my youth must die? |
| Where the sun is such a stranger |
| Mind and soul are both in danger |
| With naught to do but sit and sigh |
| Is this the way my youth must die? |
| This bare existence is not life |
| I’d rather live in pain and strife |
| My heart is tired but cannot cry |
| Is this the way my youth must die? |
| My life is merely night and day |
| With food brought in upon a tray |
| To let me live but not to try |
| Is this the way my youth must die? |
| Ah God give me the open air |
| Give me hope and even care |
| Let me live God and let me try |
| 'Cause this is no way for youth to die |
| I know someday beyond the sunset |
| He’ll call my name to make amends |
| Till that day I’ll keep on prayin' |
| And ask that He forgive my sins |
