I saw you today bound in handcuffs
and shame -
I wondered about you -thou I knew
not your name.
A policeman by your side - your
freedom stripped away-
You don't know what to do -
You don't know what to say.
I wondered how you felt - not
being free -
I wondered how I would feel if
it were me.
A simple cup of coffee - the wind
on my face-
A scenic car drive - a thrilling
Nascar race.
Snatched by justice all have been
taken from you-
The simple joys of living - what did
you do ?
Was it worth the boundage - just
Wishing you could die?
Was it worth losing your family -
Was it worth the tears you cry?
Oh, You will yearn for a real home-
the feel of your wife's kiss-
A beauty of a blooming rose - all the
dances you will miss.
Freedom is a high price to pay for
whatever you have done-
Those bars are so cold behind you-
Hiding the sun.....
