[based on "IF ONLY :" by Christina M. Riggs]
|
|
Here I sit in my cell
|
Plain white, stone cold walls.
|
All alone with my thoughts, memories
|
and my regrets to keep me company.
|
WISHING ONLY IF . . .
|
Dreaming of holding my babies,
|
hearing their tiny voices and laughter.
|
Watching them grow up.
|
Dreaming I could see and touch
|
my Mom without the glass.
|
IF ONLY . . .
|
IF ONLY . . .
|
I HAD REACHED OUT!
|
Dreaming of feeling wet grass on bare feet.
|
The sun on my face, wind in my hair.
|
Watching the stars
|
Feeling peace, hope, happiness, and belonging
|
IF ONLY . . . I' D REACHED OUT!
|
Reality, I' m alone on DEATH ROW.
|
With no sense of hope, peace, or happiness.
|
Day in, day out, I relive my failures, regrets
|
|
And that terrible night, knowing I'm
|
to blame for losing my babies.
|
Realizing that what I dream of most
|
Could have been reality for me
|
|
Could have been reality for them
|
|
IF ONLY . . . I' D REACHED OUT!
|
|
Here I sit in my cell
|
Plain white, stone cold walls.
|
All alone with my thoughts, memories
|
and my regrets to keep me company.
|
|
WISHING ONLY IF . . .
|
I 'D REACHED OUT!
