This place is one of heartache.
Made of glass, steel and stone.
Down in the belly of the beast.
Here I am sitting all alone.
Open up the gate of hell.
Where no man want to be.
Smell the fear and feel the terror.
I pray that God looks after me.
My body cramps from the damp.
That chills me to the bone.
Although I am here to stay for now.
This will never be my home.
There are times I rage and pace.
Looking all around for my friends
This is a place where time starts.
And seem like it never ends.
Listen to the rings of the cold steel.
Swings of the keys and metal locks.
The scraping of feet upon concrete.
For those whom live in these blocks.
Convicts knives take human lives.
There is no place that holds more danger.
Then behind these walls with endless faces.
And everyone still remains a stranger.
So Lord take my hand, help me stand.
Through the trails I face each day.
Help me made the right choices.
To stay in your grace is what I pray.
When I go home to my family.
At the end of each long day.
I hug and kiss them with all my love.
Cause tomorrow is the start of a new day.
