The Ballad of Lefty Brown
Justice Pursued: The Ballad of Resilience by Maiah Wynne
Lyrics
There ain't no light
There's a lack of brightness or positivity
There ain't no sunshine today
Currently, there's no happiness or joy
All my friends are gone away
The speaker feels abandoned as their friends are absent
All my world has fallen apart
Their whole world has collapsed or disintegrated
Tell me dear God, is there justice for a man like me
The speaker questions if there's fairness for someone like them in the eyes of God
Is there hope beyond their broken greed?
Asking if there's hope beyond the selfishness and corruption of others
Beyond my broken dreams
Reflecting on shattered aspirations or ambitions
Ooh
[Vocal expression]
I'm gonna stand my ground
Determined to hold their position or beliefs
I'm gonna hunt him down
Committed to pursuing someone who inflicts suffering
Find the man that tortures me
To locate and confront the person causing torment
The man that haunts my dreams
The individual who troubles the speaker's thoughts and subconscious
Oh, I'm always there
The speaker feels omnipresent in the situation
I'm always one step behind
Consistently just behind, unable to catch up or resolve
I'll keep on going till I die
They vow to persist until their demise
'Till I find justice in his eyes
Until they perceive justice in the perpetrator's eyes
Ooh
[Vocal expression]
I'm gonna stand my ground
Reiteration of the determination to hold ground
I'm gonna hunt him down
Continued commitment to pursuing the tormentor
Find the man that tortures me
To locate and confront the person causing torment
The man that haunts my dreams
The individual who troubles the speaker's thoughts and subconscious
Ooh
[Vocal expression]
I'm gonna stand my ground
Reiteration of determination to hold ground
I'm gonna hunt him down
Continued commitment to pursuing the tormentor
Keep on going 'till he dies
To persist until the tormentor's demise
'Till I find justice in his eyes
Until the speaker perceives justice in the perpetrator's eyes
