| Woke up this morning looked around my cell
|
| Can’t believe I get to leave today
|
| Thank the Lord Jesus Christ the most high
|
| I started to cry as I prayed
|
| I can’t wait to walk with my son
|
| And see the big smile on his face
|
| And make up for every single day
|
| That I was gone
|
| I said peace to my mans in C block
|
| Fam in E block and Pastor James
|
| I couldn’t believe that the time was coming
|
| I would finally be on my way
|
| I never thought that I’d leave here breathing
|
| But thank God for my faith
|
| I took one last look at the yard
|
| I took one last look at the guard
|
| And said I’m ready to go
|
| Oh, I was locked down, hopeless until You looked my way
|
| I was doubtful that You would forgive a man like me
|
| You are the reason that I can finally say
|
| That I’m free
|
| I spoke to the guard said, «I'm leaving a new man»
|
| Shook his right hand then I headed for the front gate
|
| I could see my son jumping for joy
|
| I smiled back at the guard and said that’s my boy
|
| I hugged my son with a knot in my throat
|
| Thanked my wife for all the letters she wrote
|
| For staying with me through this four and a half
|
| For being a mother, for being a dad
|
| I said, «Thank you baby for sticking with me through these hard times
|
| Sorry baby for every single night I made you cry»
|
| She said, «Don't worry I’m just glad your alive
|
| Ready to start brand new and push the old to the side»
|
| Thank You Lord I couldn’t thank You more
|
| For everything You’ve done in my life
|
| I praise You Lord, I couldn’t repay You Lord
|
| For keeping me alive, it’s good to be back babe
|
| Free
|
| Oh, I was locked down, hopeless until You looked my way
|
| I was doubtful that You would forgive a man like me
|
| You are the reason that I can finally say
|
| That I’m free
|
| Thank you baby, for sticking with me through these hard times
|
| Sorry baby, for every single night I made you cry
|
| Free |
