[verse 1]

the first time i saw your smile
you had just turned 25
you had just started doing time
and i had abolition on my mind
you saw so many die
i could never fathom what that would be like
in a jungle where only the strong survive
time just could never seem to fly
who gets to decide: five years, ten years, or life?
they don’t know you, man, they only know your file
they’ve never felt your smile

[chorus 1]

or even cared to hear you speak —
they think they know your mind (and “your kind”)

[verse 2]

the last time i saw your smile
you were 40, still inside
and i just wanted to keep your voice alive:
your story through your eyes
but somehow your words became mine —
wasn’t what i’d had in mind
such a wasted institutional pantomime
ironically the crime
[chorus 2]

is that one again your future lies
in a stranger’s hand
one who hasn’t lived your life
and could never understand

[bridge]

you’re still breathing
and i’ve long since died
hoping life would love you on the outside
if that’s where you are today
i guess i’ll never know
watching you survive
it helped me see
how to live a life of harmony

[chorus 3]

even if the cards are stacked against me

[outro]

i wish you peace
i wish you peace
