| I’m doing life in prison now for murder first degree, | |

| grandmother, grandmother, send your prayers to me | |

| I pray | |
| help me to make my amends to those that I have harmed | |
| grant them love and peace so they may understand I’m | |

| help me share my shame and pain so others they might do | |
