As the tension builds
We collect our thoughts
So much at stake
Nerves close to shot
Here comes the judge
Here is the jury
The defense is glowering
At my client and me
But it won’t faze me
Not with my fight and grit
I’m ready to do battle
It’s too late to quit
It’s the fight for truth
I give voice to justice
Here we level the playing field
It’s how I make a living
It’s real, so very real
