Dave Alan Walker - For Michael Hicky

I heard the screams
Of what was told

The screams
Of a man
Who should
Have been free

They chained him
They beat him
But they
Could never defeat him

As he stands alone
On a rooftop of hope
His mother pleads
Please set my son free

Three months long
On a roof with no sun
Just the wind
And the snow

His mind and body broken
But a soul so strong

Years of his life taken
All from
When he was seventeen
How could
Any man go on

I heard the screams
Of what was told

The screams
Of a man
Who was set free

Dave Alan Walker
