I'll Begin Again

My first day out it rained
Eight years on a chain
For a crime that wasn't mind, I did the time
As the door swung shut behind me
I was left so lonely
No one remembered, no one was there
To hear my please to hear my prayers
I'll begin again
I was headed here from the start
I'll begin again
I paid my price for my part

Not a dollar to my name
I suppose I can't complain
My life again was mine
And that's just fine
As I knocked on my mother's door
She didn't live there anymore
A second mortgage to fund appeals that got no deal
