Walking down death row

I sang for three men destined for the chair

Walking down death row

I sang of lives and loves in other years

Walking down death row

I sang of hopes that used to be

Through the bars into each separate cell

Yes I sang to one and two and three

If you'd only stuck together you'd not be here

If you could have loved each other's lives

You'd not be sitting here

And if only this you could believe

You still might you might still be reprieved

Walking down death row

I turned a corner and found to my surprise

There were women there as well

And babies in their arms before my eyes

Walking down death row

I tried again to sing of hopes that used to be

But the thought of that contraption down the hall

Waiting for whole families one dozen two or three

If you'd only stuck together you'd not be here

If you coulda loved another's child as well

You'd not have to stay here

And if only this you could believe

You still might you might still be reprieved

Walking down death row

I concentrated singing to the young

I sang of hopes that flickered still

I tried to mouth their many separate tongues

Walking down death row

I sang again of life and love that still could be

Singing down death row

To each separate human cell one billion two or three

If you'd only stick together you'd not be here

If you could love another's child

If you could love another's life

Like your own you'd not be here

And if only this you could believe

You still might you might still be reprieved
