The Presidio 27
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I believe I'm alive
I'm the river, I'm the child
Like a coward at the frontline
To be gone
They were right, they were wrong
Singing "We shall overcome"
Blood is running in the jailhouse
On and on
Sons were dying, mother's crying
Crime or suicide?
Twenty seven souls from heaven
Pride was in their eyes
Presidio cries
Father, send me a prayer
I'll be strapped into the chair
We are traitors of the nation
They declared
On the squares in the yards
Words are stronger than the gun
And this muting based on justice
To be won
Sons were dying, mother's crying
Crime or suicide?
Twenty seven souls from heaven
Pride was in their eyes
Presidio cries
Sons were dying, mother's crying
Crime or suicide?
Twenty seven souls from heaven
Pride was in their eyes
Presidio cries
Sons were dying, mother's crying
Crime or suicide?
Twenty seven souls from heaven
Pride was in their eyes
Presidio cries
