A prisoner cries in the dark of his cell He knows the price of living in hell Nobody sees, nobody hears But nothing falls as hard as a prisoner's tears I've never been locked behind walls of stone But I've been a prisoner deep down in my bones No judge and no jury, but the sentence is clear And nothing falls as hard as a prisoner's tears Counting the days, wondering when This prisoner's heart will finally mend They say I'm free now, but they can't feel my pain They don't see my shackles, but I'm living in chains Love made the walls, and love keeps me here Well, nothing falls as hard as a prisoner's tears Nothing falls as hard as a prisoner's tears A prisoner cries in the dark of his cell
