Prisoner's Prayer - Hank Snow[00:00:00]
In my cell so dark and dreary[00:00:09]
The touch of God's hand I can feel[00:00:17]
Asking Him to please forgive me[00:00:26]
Before Him pleading I would kneel[00:00:34]
I know someday beyond the sunset[00:00:43]
He'll call my name to make amends[00:00:51]
Till that day I'll keep on prayin'[00:01:01]
And ask that he forgive my sins[00:01:09]
Must I spend my life without a goal[00:01:21]
In the staleness of this barren hole [00:01:25]
Must the ceiling always be my sky[00:01:30]
Is this the way my youth must die [00:01:33]
Could fate no better world arrange[00:01:38]
Than gloomy walls that never change[00:01:40]
No stars or moon to shine on high[00:01:44]
Is this the way my youth must die [00:01:48]
Where the sun is such a stranger[00:01:53]
Mind and soul are both in danger[00:01:56]
With naught to do but sit and sigh[00:02:01]
Is this the way my youth must die [00:02:04]
This bare existence is not life[00:02:09]
I'd rather live in pain and strife[00:02:13]
My heart is tired but cannot cry[00:02:17]
Is this the way my youth must die [00:02:21]
My life is merely night and day[00:02:26]
With food brought in upon a tray[00:02:29]
To let me live but not to try[00:02:34]
Is this the way my youth must die [00:02:38]
Ah God give me the open air[00:02:42]
Give me hope and even care[00:02:45]
Let me live God and let me try[00:02:49]
'Cause this is no way for youth to die[00:02:53]
I know someday beyond the sunset[00:03:03]
He'll call my name to make amends[00:03:12]
Till that day I'll keep on prayin'[00:03:21]
And ask that He forgive my sins[00:03:29]
