Heaven Await's Me

by edy   Oct 25, 2003


I wake up in the morning
And look all around
Four Walls and a cage
And a bed that sticks to the ground

All Ive got are my books to read
Sometimes I wish school would have been for me

20 years to life and Death Row on my side
For a I crime I never commited
While the guilty one hides

Not the most succesful
Or that smartest man in the world
But the cops needed a way out
They blamed me for raping those girls

With nowhere to run
Or enough money to fight
I no longer have tears
Nor a reason to cry

I can deny the crime
All I want
But in the worlds eyes
Justice has been done

I cant even go out
Because I have no friends
Everybody thinks Im a rapist
In jail my life is thin

With everybody wanting me to die
Sooner than I should
I wish they knew the truth
I wish I could......

I wish they could
Relive the day I lived
As they slapped the cuffs
And whispered "Your done for good"

But that's impossible
Not merely a dream
I can only remember my last day
When I was free

Everything happened so fast
Its as if i woke up in jail
I sware on my life
I never raped any girl

I miss those days
When I could see the world
With no windows at all
Im like a blind man
But I don't even wish I could see

I miss the days
Alongside my wife
I miss how we use to argue
Very rarely did we fight

I miss the sun..blazing down
As drops of sweat hit the ground
Or the rainy days
As I hid under a tree
I miss the rain falling all over me

But only three people
Know the truth
Me offcoarse
A man we call god
And an unknown man whom
Has guilt running through his veins
An innocent man on death row
Because the law never found out his name

But I will soon find out
As my final days near
There nothing I can do
Because Im still hear

I fear the day
That I see my wife
Looking though the glass
As I watch my wifes tears falling down her face
I close my eyes because her heart
I never meant to break

But theres nothing I can do
Im already here
My life has been written for me
My life is through

But guilty I'm not
Innocent as can be
I smile not cuz Im sick
But Because I know Heaven Await's Me
