Lock Down

I sit here alone in my cell

most of my life has been spent in jail



My pain ,and sorrow no one could ever know

i keep it inside hid in my soul.



I`ve made mistakes in my life

never had a chance to raise my kids

or love my wife.



But i guess i played the hand that was

dealt my way,i did`nt choose to be this way

but one day i will be free again and

my new life will begin...
