My name is Inmate number 30268 and
I've decided not to stay
I doubt they'll kick up any fuss or roadblocks
for an old crook like me
I was in the path of the tornado
I just didn't expect the spinning
would last as long as it has you know
so I keep repeating… i just keep repeating
There's always hope
And no good thing ever dies
The River is carrying each one of us
To the finish line
One day we'll be on the other side
These are not the chosen themes
These are the themes that have chosen me
And I'm writing for my life
It's a terrible thing to be afraid all the time
When you reach the point of a death wish
Feeling that anything
Has got to be better than this
Then just keep repeating, just go on repeating
There's always hope
And no good thing ever dies
The River is carrying each one of us
To the finish line
One day we'll be on the other side
One day we'll be on the other side
