Don't Take My Life
I know there's a time
For living
I'm aware of that
We all must die
But why must my young life
End so soon
Such a shame
To weep and cry
In the night
Someone is calling
And in my mind
A picture remains
People say
I've gone half crazy
People say that I'm insane
Don't take my life
Away from me
Don't take my life,
Set me free
A fire is burning
And time is driftin' away
They say that I killed
My dear brother
This terrible crime I didn't do
Even my own momma said
Baby what's come over you
People judge and peer
Down at me
As tears stream
Down my face
I can't find a reason
Or any rhyme
I think there must be
Some mistake
As only I stand witness
To my plea
People shake their heads
And pity me
Sentencing has dealt
The final blow
To live my life
Remaining on death row
For living
I'm aware of that
We all must die
But why must my young life
End so soon
Such a shame
To weep and cry
In the night
Someone is calling
And in my mind
A picture remains
People say
I've gone half crazy
People say that I'm insane
Don't take my life
Away from me
Don't take my life,
Set me free
A fire is burning
And time is driftin' away
They say that I killed
My dear brother
This terrible crime I didn't do
Even my own momma said
Baby what's come over you
People judge and peer
Down at me
As tears stream
Down my face
I can't find a reason
Or any rhyme
I think there must be
Some mistake
As only I stand witness
To my plea
People shake their heads
And pity me
Sentencing has dealt
The final blow
To live my life
Remaining on death row
