Death of the Innocent Draft
Pine trees
Dancing in the breeze.
A man on death row
Praying on his knees
They think justice they sow
For one more breath he says please
They say no
Those eyes look back in contempt
A fair system is the concept
But this man is innocent
Still he will die a guilty man tomorrow
The lawyer has done all he can
This surprisingly happens often
Maybe that penalty we should soften
I don't know. An innocent man on the row
