Woke up this morning looked around my cell
Can't believe I get to leave today
Thank the Lord Jesus Christ the most high
I started to cry as I prayed

I can't wait to walk with my son
And see the big smile on his face
And make up for every single day
That I was gone

I said peace to my mans in C block
Fam in E block and Pastor James
I couldn't believe that the time was coming
I would finally be on my way

I never thought that I'd leave here breathing
But thank God for my faith
I took one last look at the yard
I took one last look at the guard
And said I'm ready to go

Oh, I was locked down, hopeless until You looked my way
I was doubtful that You would forgive a man like me
You are the reason that I can finally say
That I'm free

I spoke to the guard said, 'I'm leaving a new man'
Shook his right hand then I headed for the front gate
I could see my son jumping for joy
I smiled back at the guard and said that's my boy

I hugged my son with a knot in my throat
Thanked my wife for all the letters she wrote
For staying with me through this four and a half
For being a mother, for being a dad

I said, 'Thank you baby for sticking with me through these hard times
Sorry baby for every single night I made you cry'
She said, 'Don't worry I'm just glad your alive
Ready to start brand new and push the old to the side'

Thank You Lord I couldn't thank You more
For everything You've done in my life
I praise You Lord, I couldn't repay You Lord
For keeping me alive, it's good to be back babe
