The 39th Charm
I still have faith in you
despite your thirty-eight prior arrests
You're a predator for sure. No doubt about it..
but there's good in everyone.
With some people you just have to dig a little deeper to extract it..
and brother let me tell you I'm digging deep- so deep in fact
I may not be able to find my way back out of this illogical pit..
but as I've said before I have faith in you.
The 39th chance just might be the charm
that turns it all around.
A chance for you to finally show society your silver lining.
For the time being you'll need community support
a bite to eat a place to stay..a stable job.
most important of all you'll need understanding and compassion
from your fellow citizens...
Wish I could help you out but I'm just a working class stiff.
My home is filled to the brim with loved ones
and my fridge is a little thin.
I'd put in a good word for you at work
but I'm a bit concerned over your (prior) attendance.
and your violent tendencies...
but I have faith in you...still
based on true stories
