I  woke this morning and felt so hurt

It is justice that I thirst

The pain and memories keep coming back

Why in court he got of the fact




The voices in my head of this dreadful day

Oh how I am still betrayed




My heart is heavy but my mind somewhat clear

At least now I can shed a tear

But I wish I could wave a magic wand

To take away the memory and pain and have it gone




The shame and torment would leave me alone

I'd be free in my home

Music would be a closer friend

And peace and love I could give again
