Alcatraz Songtext
von Al Denson

Snap the latch, stay down low
Come out of your cell and follow me close
Down the dark corridors
Past the guards and into the murky moor
Down to the rocky shore
Sail away without a trace
He rescued me from hopelessness
Now I feel like I′ve escaped

From Alcatraz
All my life was like Alcatraz
I could have died in that Alcatraz
What little hope was fading fast
Then I called His name, Lord
He raised this impossible past
And before I even knew it
No more Alcatraz


This cruel world, cold and dark
Chained in pain in a criminal heart
Lock and key, guns and dogs
Had to have a miracle to beat the odds
Down to the cold concrete
A desperate cry for help
I found heaven there on my knees
When He saved me from my hell

From Alcatraz
All my life was like Alcatraz
I could have died in that Alcatraz
What little hope was fading fast
Then I called His name, Lord
He raised this impossible past
And before I even knew it
No more Alcatraz

He did my time, changed my heart
And set my record straight
He sent me home with a master plan
To help some more escape


Alcatraz
All my life was like Alcatraz
I could have died in that Alcatraz
What little hope was fading fast
Then I called His name, Lord
He raised this impossible past
And before I even knew it
No more Alcatraz
All my life was like Alcatraz
I could have died in that Alcatraz
What little hope was fading fast
Then I called His name, Lord
He raised this impossible past
And before I even knew it
No more Alcatraz
All my life was like Alcatraz
I could have died in that Alcatraz
What little hope was fading fast
