about

This song came from an essay written by a fellow I met in prison, a prison surrounded by miles and miles and farmland. He described his home as "an island of concrete in a sea of gold".

lyrics

I see red and blue in a sea of black
They’ve got me down there’s no going back
To a life of running trying to be free
With shadows always chasing me

Don’t worry mama your memory’s close
No more rolling over in your grave
Don’t worry mama the words you spoke
Are settling in one less soul to save

I see justice rise in a sea of hate
The man in robes says it’s not too late
To tell them what they need to hear
Before you go and disappear

Don’t worry mama your memory’s close
No more rolling over in your grave
Don’t worry mama the words you spoke
Are settling in one less soul to save

Everything you did for me
Now that I’m here I finally see
And your words they spin around
Even more as the world slows down

I see an island of concrete in a sea of gold
It’s where I’m dying or so I’m told
When my last breath is drawn away from me
Will you raise your arms in victory

Don’t worry mama your memory’s close
No more rolling over in your grave
Don’t worry mama the words you spoke
Are settling in one less soul to save
