Mr Innocent - Morten Abel[00:00:00]
I write to you this letter[00:00:22]
And you'll get it in the mail[00:00:24]
I hope that you're not tired of my letters sent from jail[00:00:27]
Spent twenty years in prison for a crime I did not do[00:00:32]
But no one do believe that I am innocent but you[00:00:37]
I've never hurt nobody[00:00:44]
And that's the truth I swear[00:00:47]
Someone says they saw me on the scene[00:00:49]
But I wasn't even near[00:00:52]
An officer was shot to death[00:00:54]
By machine gun fire[00:00:57]
It's almost twenty years ago[00:01:00]
And they still call me a liar[00:01:02]
This is a nightmare it really is[00:01:06]
I just hope down the line that there is some justice[00:01:08]
Help me God if you are up there[00:01:11]
I really didn't shoot that guy I swear[00:01:14]
The judge and the jury they didn't even look at me[00:01:16]
I didn't have a lawyer no defence see[00:01:19]
Let them all feel the wrath of your power[00:01:22]
I pay with my young life[00:01:25]
They are cowards[00:01:26]
They are cowards[00:01:29]
So I write to you my darling[00:01:32]
So that you can bring it on[00:01:35]
And prove to them my innocence[00:01:38]
After I'm gone[00:01:40]
Only before God can I confess without shame[00:01:43]
A killer is out there in the streets[00:01:48]
And I got all the blame[00:01:51]
Can I trust you to see that these words[00:01:54]
Is written on my stone[00:01:57]
Don't bother with my name[00:02:00]
Because I rather be unknown[00:02:02]
Here lies Mr Innocent who never she'd a tear[00:02:05]
You wanted his young life now enjoy your dinner[00:02:10]
La la la la la la la la la la[00:02:17]
La la la la la la la la la la[00:02:22]
La la la la la la la la la la[00:02:27]
Thank you and goodnight people of the land[00:02:38]
The system failed for an innocent man[00:02:40]
I was fortheen not yet been with a woman[00:02:43]
Now I'm thirty-four and I still haven't been with one[00:02:45]
To my mum and dad I brought a lot of pain[00:02:48]
They didn't want me to carry their name[00:02:51]
Now I'm just a number a number in chains[00:02:53]
Thank you and goodnight people of the land[00:02:59]
The system failed for an innocent man[00:03:01]
I was fourtheen not yet been with a woman[00:03:03]
Now I'm thirty-four and I still haven't been with one[00:03:06]
To my mum and dad I brought a lot of pain[00:03:09]
They didn't want me to carry their name[00:03:12]
Now I'm just a number a number in chains[00:03:14]
