《Prisoner’s Prayer》歌词

[00:00:00] Prisoner's Prayer - Hank Snow

[00:00:09] In my cell so dark and dreary

[00:00:17] The touch of God's hand I can feel

[00:00:26] Asking Him to please forgive me

[00:00:34] Before Him pleading I would kneel

[00:00:43] I know someday beyond the sunset

[00:00:51] He'll call my name to make amends

[00:01:01] Till that day I'll keep on prayin'

[00:01:09] And ask that he forgive my sins

[00:01:21] Must I spend my life without a goal

[00:01:25] In the staleness of this barren hole

[00:01:30] Must the ceiling always be my sky

[00:01:33] Is this the way my youth must die

[00:01:38] Could fate no better world arrange

[00:01:40] Than gloomy walls that never change

[00:01:44] No stars or moon to shine on high

[00:01:48] Is this the way my youth must die

[00:01:53] Where the sun is such a stranger

[00:01:56] Mind and soul are both in danger

[00:02:01] With naught to do but sit and sigh

[00:02:04] Is this the way my youth must die

[00:02:09] This bare existence is not life

[00:02:13] I'd rather live in pain and strife

[00:02:17] My heart is tired but cannot cry

[00:02:21] Is this the way my youth must die

[00:02:26] My life is merely night and day

[00:02:29] With food brought in upon a tray

[00:02:34] To let me live but not to try

[00:02:38] Is this the way my youth must die

[00:02:42] Ah God give me the open air

[00:02:45] Give me hope and even care

[00:02:49] Let me live God and let me try

[00:02:53] 'Cause this is no way for youth to die

[00:03:03] I know someday beyond the sunset

[00:03:12] He'll call my name to make amends

[00:03:21] Till that day I'll keep on prayin'

[00:03:29] And ask that He forgive my sins
