Prisoner's Song

Looking back on a past when we still had a chance

We were pawns in a game that we could not win

Now we're alone, just a pick and stone

We're dreaming of a future when our ship comes in



Dreaming of a future when our ship comes in



Hey, ho, a prisoner's song

(Pawns in a game that we could not win)

Hey, ho, a prisoner's song

(Dreaming of a future when our ship comes in)



A prisoner to my thoughts, a number and a cell

Locked up like a dog in this worldly hell

Marching along, another man on the gang

I'm shackled and sentenced to the ball and chain



Shackled and sentenced to the ball and chain



Hey, ho, a prisoner's song

(Marching along, another man on the gang)

Hey, ho, a prisoner's song

(Shackled and sentenced to the ball and chain)



We count the days and nights

We're paying with our lives

We're paying for our wrongs

Singing a prisoner's song

Singing a prisoner's song



Looking back on a past when we still had a chance

We were pawns in a game that we could not win

Now we're alone, just a pick and stone

We're dreaming of a future when our ship comes in



Dreaming of a future when our ship comes in
