My name is George Lewis I'm in cellblock C the judge said natural life 1983 an 8 by 12 cell that's been my home you got my body not my soul And I will never be whole again. You said I killed the grocer named Roman Ortez took all his money, shot him in the head but you never explained where all that money went and you never explained those stranger's fingerprints And I will never be whole again. the state had two witnesses who identified me as the man in black they'd seen flee well I cursed that stain for 18 years I cursed the god who put me here gangsters and sadists they came for me I learned to fight but I learned not to see those screams in the night, I did not hear there's only one man in prison, there are no friends here And I will never be whole again. Along came new fingerprint technology year after year the state denied my pleas finally their own computers forced them to see the real murderer, hell he was in cellblock I walked out of prison on a cold November day and I discovered that my soul had lost its way I'd held it so close I couldn't let go I couldn't love the people that meant the most And I will never be whole again. So you the people, you put me here and what kind of lessons did you learn? If there are innocent men imprisoned are you really free? every cellblock holds someone just like me and we can never be whole again/how about you? and we can never be whole again/can you? and I will never be whole again
