mary chapin carpenter (A dream like this) Dead Man Walking Lyrics

You never had a dream like this
Never felt the cold cold steel
Slam you like a fist break you down until you kneal
Just like a beggar man asking only for redemption
All the things that can make a man believe in heaven

Fix your eyes upon the bars
memorise their other side
Like the tatoos on your arms
that brag so loud and tough and lie
without the truth comes out
fast as fear can do your talking
It sets you free as one guard shouts
dead man walking

When neither light nor darkness
when neither night nor day
When neither kind nor heartless
when neither lost nor saved
when neither still nor moving
when neither held or free
oh to be so human

dead man walking

When neither light nor darkness
when neither night nor day
When neither kind nor heartless
when neither lost nor saved
when neither still nor moving
when neither held or free
oh to be so human
oh to be

somewhere in a dream like this
where light of love leads us home
broken worlds will not be fixed
vengence take us as thy own
we're just like beggars now
on ours knees we hear our names
god forgive somehow we have let to learn the same
