Lyrics
Walking the last mile so weary and slow
Walking the final stretch with exhaustion and slowness.
It leads to the gallows from where I don't know
Heading towards the gallows, uncertain about the destination.
One step every minute each minute seems as a year
Advancing one step at a time, each minute feels like a prolonged year.
This parting is bitter when no friend is near
Parting is painful when no friend is nearby.
If I had one wish Lawd and that could come true
If granted a wish, the singer desires a pardon to reunite with a loved one.
I'd wish I was pardoned and back home with you
Expressing the desire to be forgiven and return home.
I'd get on my knees Lawd and if you'd forgive
Willing to humble oneself and seek forgiveness through prayer.
No more would I hurt you as long as I live
Pledging to refrain from causing harm for the rest of one's life.
(The way I go on Lawd is crashing my soul
Reflecting on the emotional toll of the current situation on the soul.
It's hard to be tied down in this prison hole)
Expressing the difficulty of being confined in a prison.
There is one regret Lawd that tortures my brain
Regretting a specific action that torments the mind.
It's that I've been careless in causing you pain
Acknowledging carelessness in causing pain to a loved one.
Walking the last mile with each step of blare
Continuing the journey, each step marked by a sense of impending doom.
Praying forgiveness from him way up there
Praying for forgiveness from a higher power.
Oh please say a prayer Lawd for it's my last keep
Requesting others to pray during this critical time.
Please pray the great Master shows mercy on me
Pleading for mercy from the divine Master.
Perhaps in the next world on that judgement day
Contemplating the possibility of redemption in the afterlife.
I'll find that the Master washed my sins away
Hoping for the Master's forgiveness to cleanse sins on judgment day.
There I'll hold my head up when my soul is free
Anticipating freedom of the soul and pride in the next world.
And rest in your arm Lawd through eternity
Resting in the arms of the Lord for eternity.
