Second Chance Program

What do YOU call a second chance a chance to see the sun a chance to breathe fresh air a chance to live on the outside with no room to share a chance to not have to look over my shoulder as I walk around a chance to get it together place my feet on solid ground a chance to work for your government without reminding me of the wrong Ive done a chance to vote in the elections for a politician whose already won what do YOU call a second chance a chance to get my life back that I have lost why am I still out here in jail while in jail I paid the cost Yes I made a costly choice and I paid with time Yet Im still suffering on the outside about to lose my mind Im out now but its like im still in still being penalized for the crime my sin why wont you let me make it dont want to have to take it then you say repeat offender I say you are the hender not blaming you for what I did just wanna be a father to my kid if you do something wrong you must suffer the consequences yet im constantly reminded of these offenses I want to change but you want me to stay the same I wont let you win and thats my word in Jesus name
