Let me see the sunshine. Let me feel the rain.

Let me go where I wanna go.

Well I want to smell the flowers, see the dawn again.

Find those friends I used to know.

Find those friends I used to know.



Well I spent twenty long years in a dirty old prison cell.

I never saw the light of day.

If you could understand, oh that kind of living hell.

That's the price I had to pay. Oh yeah!

That's the price I had to pay.



They say I killed a man, but I never told 'em why.

So you can guess what I've been through.

And so for twenty long years I've been thinking of that other guy

and what I saw him do to you.

What I saw him do to you.



Listen. So when tomorrow comes and I walk outside that door,

try to understand the strain.

But if you smile that smile I know I couldn't ask for more.

I know I'd do it all again. Yes I would.

I know I'd do it all again
