Colton’s fight

He sits alone with a heavy heart

Counting days as they tear apart

A life once whole now ripped and torn

A man accused left so forlorn

Ink on his skin tells a story loud

A silent scream in a faceless crowd

Twenty years for a crime not done

Truth fades away like the setting sun

Tattoo tears fall one by one

A river flows for what's undone

Innocence lost behind steel and stone

Colton’s fight is his alone

Sheriff’s lies built a cage so tight

A shadowed tale in the dead of night

But truth will rise though justice bends

His heart still beats his spirit defends

Bars can hold but they can't contain

The burning hope that runs through his veins

A life unfair a fate unjust

Still he holds on to faith and trust

Tattoo tears fall one by one

A river flows for what's undone

Innocence lost behind steel and stone

Colton’s fight is his alone
