What happened to innocent until proven guilty?

Song about my friend Gordon Wood
|
Presumption of guilt
Who would have thought
That in an instant
My future would be gone
And in its place
Just painful memories
And a million damning gazes
What could I have done?
What should I have said?
I have lived my life Hounded like prey
Wondering why Why I should pay
I gave my love My only soul
Just look inside At my naked pity
Who would have thought
That in an instant
My loved one, would be gone
And in her place
A million stares
A distorting eye on someone shoulder
What could I have done?
What should I have said?
It's not forgive
It's not forget
It's simply fairness
That's all I ask
Some words were spoken
Many words were written
yet only few
were left unbroken
I saved a life
Some tears were shed
yet only few
Seemed to take notice
You pushed me out
So you could bring me
Back with my hands in your chains
What could I have done?
What should I have said?
Where will we find
Where the truth lies
Now that the words
Have all been broken
Can we replace
My mother's tears
Now that the souls
Have all been tainted
It's not forgive
It's not forget
It's simply fairness
That's all I ask
