Bring Si Home

[pammy]

1 They say that justice
is not a privilege but a right
How am I to believe this
when I’m locked up day and night


2 Away from my loved ones
my family and friends.
The pain, the grief, the heartache
never ever ends


3 But if you’d only listen
like they used to do
Now you’re just a number
no one believes in you


4 But if you’d just listen
listen carefully and hear
I’m sure you would believe
I really shouldn’t be here


5 Send away this innocent man
keep him under lock and key
Send him off to prison
to protect the likes of you and me


6 We’re all too quick
to judge and condemn
Especially if it’s not happening to us
but only happening to them


7 These miscarriages of justice
keep happening every year
Everybody listens
but how many really hear


8 Years of fighting
to right all the wrongs
The guilty one walks free
instead of where he belongs


9 Think of all the others
Who fought this terrifying fight
Yet still nothing has been done
To make the system right


10 We could all sit back and do nothing
And think the system is fine
Next time the pain and heartache
Could be yours instead of mine.
