[bodytext] => I saw you today bound in handcuffs and shame- I wondered about you - thou I knew not your name. A policeman by your side - your freedom stripped away- You don’t know what to do - You don’t know what to say. I wondered how you felt - not being free- I wondered how I would feel if it were me. A simple cup of coffee - the wind on my face- A scenic car drive - an thrilling Nascar race. Snatched by justice all have been taken from you- The simple joys of living - what did you do? Was it worth the boundage - just wishing you could die? Was it worth losing your family- Was it worth the tears you cry? Oh, you will yearn for a real home the feel of your wife’s kiss The beauty of blooming rose - all the dances you will miss. Freedom is a high price to pay for what you have done - Those bars are so cold behind you Hiding the sun...
