"I am so lonely I want to cry
bring back my daddy oh please don't let him die!"
(Father on death row sitting on his bed his head in his hands, tears in his eyes, praying)
"Lord,I am a prisoner condemn to die for a crime I did'nt commit.Lord,My last prayer is for you to protect my boy,Please Lord, let him grow up in the right way,Lord,I will not be there to guide him, So Lord I pray that you will protect and guide him in the right way while I am away,Lord, I thank you from the bottom of my heart, In Jesus name amen!"
(Boy still praying, tears in his eyes,) Please Lord, help my Daddy!"
In the prison,The warden and a guard in front of the cell of the condemn man
"Prisoner" The warden said," I come to bring you the good news, the killer has confessed his crime , you are free to go!"
