I wrote this song over fifteen years ago but never played it for anyone. Maybe I just was too scared of the sentiment, not really sure if I dared to say it. I'm not scared anymore.
Amnesty
It serves a lot of people well to lock a lot of other people up in jails.
But just remember that we planned when we came to the new land
To leave behind the medieval past.
For thousands of years we climbed up out of hunt or be hunted
Kill or be killed, run and hide or die but maybe we've changed.
Maybe we're something that we've never been before.
And we can be free to walk under the sun and decide what we need
And be kind.
Maybe we don't need rulers anymore
And we don't want to be told what to buy
And we don't have to kill to survive
And maybe there's hope and maybe dreams are still alive somewhere
And when we lock someone in a prison yard
A little part of us becomes a prison guard
And when we strap someone in an electric chair
A little part of us dies with him there.
