The condemned man
As I sit here in this death cell
staring at a wall of stone,
memories flash before my eyes
And I feel so alone.
I feel like giving up all hope,
'cause nobody cares about me.
I have nobody to turn to for help,
Oh, God, have mercy on me.
The friends I had have forgotten me,
my relatives never write.
They don't understand the hell I go through
Each hour of the long, lonely night.
I watch the mail for just one letter,
A letter from anyone,
But the mailman always passes my cell.
For me there is none.
I know what i did was very wrong,
But i am paying now.
How can I gain People's forgiveness.
Please, someone tell me how.
Some of you have made mistakes, i know,
Though not as serious as mine.
Tell me why does everyone reject me.
Please, someone treat me kind.
Just one kind letter could have given me hope,
But nobody seemed to care.
Now it's too late for the kindness i needed,
Tomorrow i die in the electric chair.
