What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
All night long, I tried, but couldn't sleep
2
Tried to be a man, tried not to weep
3
Now, I hear the turning of the key
4
Silently, the guard motions to me
5
Now, I realize the end is near
6
And I find I can't control my fear
7
As I pass the guard, I start to cry
8
And I whisper, " I don't want to die"
9
Then, from Death Row comes a whisper
10
"Charlie, be a man"
11
Then, I scream, "Just wait 'til your turn
12
Then, see if you can"
13
Down the hall, they push and carry me
14
Blind with fright and tears won't let me see
15
Through a door and then, I stop and stare
16
'Cause I see it, there it is, the chair
17
Then, they strap me in and turn to leave
18
And the Prison Chaplain says, "Believe
19
Faith in God will cause Him to forgive"
20
I have faith, but still, I wanna live
21
Suddenly, I'm paralized
22
This must be the end
23
My body jerks and trembles
24
And they turn it on again
25
As quickly as it came, the pain is gone
26
I hear music. Someone sings a song
27
Suddenly, I seem to float through air
28
Something's wrong, 'cause I'm still in the chair
29
In the room, there's hardly any light
30
And I see the Doctor dressed in white
31
I hear every word that's plainly said
32
Did I hear him say, "This man is dead"
