Come For Me

Twenty years in the jungle has taken it's toll on me
I'm not the same man I used to be

But one thing's consistent ... I long to be free
Please, Mr. President, come for me

The scars of my torture will never go away
I'm fifty pounds lighter. My hair is gray

But the shackles can't chain the freedom in me
Please, ("mighty") lawmakers come for me

If my family believed there's a chance I'd survived
They'd fight to their deaths to prove I'm alive
Please, lovin' family, come for me

Some captors say you don't know I'm here
That I'm doomed to this prison year after year

God Bless America, the land of the free
Please, friends and parishoners, come for me

Other captors say you know that I'm here
But refuse to accept the evidence, so clear

Will some caring citizen hear my plea
Please, fellow countrymen, come for me

I'll have faith in my country 'till my dying day
I'll never believe you could leave me this way

My Country, 'tis of thee .....
Please, please, America, come for me!
