Letter from prison

Last night I had the dream again and I held you in my arms
I'd not yet been sent to this island for life and our daughters not yet born
O I was still young, my plan still clear, and the road ahead was mine
But today I count these twenty-seven years in one unbroken line

So tell all the young lions hold on for one more day!
Tell all the young lions hold on for one more day!

I still can hear an inner voice so loud within this jail
There's always one more crossroads and always one more nail
And every show of mercy, every curve in love's design
Leads from darkness into day in one unbroken line

So tell all the young lions hold on for one more day!
Tell all the young lions hold on for one more day!
