5o Years
April 26, 2013
You're going to Colorado
It's really sinking in now
And as you're serving 50 years
The prosecutors still won't cheer
They think you deserve more
Behind that dead locked door
I've had four years to prepare
Why is it now that I'm scared
And I may say that I don't care
and to myself that really isn't fair
For my mom and sisters, my feeling are hiding
And while everyone else is openly crying
I will weep a silent ocean of tears
As I wait for my dad for the next 50 years
