It seemed like I had run out of second chances And they sentenced me to die And I was just like a dead man walking I was running out of time But you came to me and opened my eyes You gave me a brand new life I am innocent and I have been set free I no longer have chains around my feet And no matter where I go or what they say I am innocent Many years have passed since the day that I met you But your words are still the same And every time I find myself with joy or sadness I am calling out your name 'Cause you came to me and opened my eyes You gave to me a brand new life
