now you are home


remember me?
I used to live here 
a long time ago
gone is the life
that I used to know
20 years in prison
is a long, long time
especially when you
have committed no crime

can you point me the way
to South 21st
I never will know
if it's a blessing or curse
to start completely over
to finally be free
all I know is prison
got the best of me

you don't need to worry
I'm a peaceful man now
I could use all the help
anyone could allow
I got on this greyhound
destination unknown
threw me to the side and said
"now you are home"

I need no revenge
I just want some peace
some logic behind
my well worn beliefs
my body is tired
I've been put to the test
I need a minute to pull it together
but now I must rest
