  • Mama, I feel so scared
    For three years
    Liberty and walking free
    Was every night my fantasies
    Mama, I feel so afraid
    Swallow me up the open gates
    The unknown awaits
    Wish I was back in the comfort of my own cage
    Cause I don't think could ever ever change

    Son, don't be scared. don't be afraid.
    Let's earn each others love
    And never until its something unconditional
    Son, bring back that smile again,
    Be led not into temptation
    Dare to resist reoffending again
    Son, truly, it's never too late to change

    Mama, my street as I remember is still the same
    Wonder what the people round here say?
    Son, only you can turn things the other way
    I think my friends have all gave up on me
    Untie your chains, reach out in apology
    Then dance dance dance into the the future with me
    Beware the fences the prison defences, and the lies they say
    Inside these walls commitments involuntary
    Only the lonely in this correctional facility's
    Isn't it sad, isn't it a pity.

    In the still of every night I pray
    For the damaged who'll be loved unwillingly
    From in a place, no man truly ever walks away

    Mum I'm so sorry for what I've put you through
    I will change for you

    Son, a change is sometimes good
    But before you change for me
    Change for you. Writer/s: JAMES ALLAN
