Lyrics
You use a gavel like a knife.
You slice right through a good man?s life.
No consideration for his age or history.
Just tear up his family and take away his dignity. *
*And I?m praying for you, I?m praying for you ?
that Love will find a way to your heart.
I wonder what or who wounded you?
Left you with a hole in your soul,
made you blind and deaf and cold? *
I always thought the punishment should fit the crime ?
but you made up your mind,
threw the book without a second look. *
I wonder what or who wounded you?
Robbed you of your faith in humanity,
took away your compassion and mercy. *
