I’m walking the green mile I’m not coming back today

Walking the green mile with so many words left to say

 

Somebody call my mother

Somebody call my father

 

Let them know I’m sorry for all the crimes I committed

Someone tell of my story to the boys and girls who don’t get it

 

I’ll soon be dead and gone

And I will not be missed nor remembered in the hearts and minds of anyone

 

So many wrongs…so many mistakes…

Hurting those around me for the things I couldn’t take

 

You don’t understand that no one wants or has time to come visit you in a cage

Just because you did something stupid whether out of enjoyment or rage

 

And age is nothing but a number to the ones in blue and the suits with cases

You cannot escape the law, no matter what your gender or race is

And you just don’t understand that as I walk this hall, wishing to turn back the time

To stop that young foolish person from committing these crimes

 

I have my ankles and wrists in chains

Tears rolling down my face and my heart is in pain

 

Sitting in a cold hard chair looking at the clock, my time’s almost up

Someone tell these young people, that, after so much destruction have we not had enough?

 

Things don’t have to be this way every season

People don’t have to cry or die without reason

 

What is a bird without wings?

What good is a goal if you don’t intend on striving for greater things?

 

Live and do right, be with your family and friends

You’ll never know when they’ll be taken and never see you again

 

I hope everything that I’ve said makes it to every cell

Because here is my executioner, and I’m left with these few words to tell

 

 

Time will never be on your side, because time waits for no one

You must play your part in life and after that you are done

 

A year is 365 days

8760 hours, 525,600 minutes and time is just ticking away

 

And I don’t care if you’re sick, handicapped, blind, mute, or death

You won’t know the blessing of life until you’ve drawn your last breath
