Reflection of redemption

A thief, a murderer, an arsonist
Before all these I was someone’s child
An embezzler, a liar, a con artist
Before all this I had big hopes and plans

Yes I did it
That I don't deny
But what gives you the right to decide
If I'm worthy of my life

Pretenders are worse than murderers
Yet you sit so highly on your horse
Perched pretty on your saddle
I, not worthy of the scum on your sole

Throw stones and leave me for dead 
Like you've done so many others
What goes around comes around
Soon it'll be your glass house

There goes the bell 
It's time for the daily head check
Let's see how many of the ones you condemned 
Have found their way to death
