Don't Take My Life — Triumph

I know there's a time For living I'm aware of that We all must die But why must my young life End so soon Such a shame To weep and cry In the night Someone is calling And in my mind A picture remains People say I've gone half crazy People say that I'm insane

Don't take my life Away from me Don't take my life, Set me free A fire is burning And time is driftin' away

They say that I killed My dear brother This terrible crime I didn't do Even my own momma said Baby what's come over you People judge and peer Down at me

As tears stream Down my face I can't find a reason Or any rhyme I think there must be Some mistake

As only I stand witness To my plea People shake their heads And pity me Sentencing has dealt The final blow To live my life Remaining on death row
