Dave Alan Walker - For Paul Blackburn

They set you up
to throw away the key
They said,
you tried to kill a kid

They said,
someone had to pay the price
So they took twentyfive years of your life

Put you in with,
Murderers and peadophiles
Couldn't they see
These wasn't your kind

The pain and the nightmares
that never fade
The feeling of distrust
The feeling of disgust
The feeling of shame
at a world that could do this

You was fifteen and alone
no family no friends
Just a baby in a lonely world

They took your childhood
when the door went bang

Twentyfive years of fighting
for your freedom as a man
You are now free
an innocent man

It's now time for them
to pay the price
Give you back your life
Let the world see the lies

Dave Alan Walker
