Sinner’s Sonnet Lyrics

Sinner’s Sonnet

by Andrew Whitman

i’m leaving and there’s no coming back
got no room for places like this in my sack
i fought all my battles I faced all my fears
i’m leaving after all of these yearsi know that I’m welcome at home
they’ll take me back in they won’t leave me alone
i’ll tell them my sorrows they’ll share in my pain
it’s home again and home again the samenow people been looking at me
i look through their eyes and I know what they see
the see me a sinner, condemn me to die
and I got no right to question them why

i live my life day after day
i try to do good and let light guide my way
but there’s something that’s missing, there’s something not there
i search but that something’s nowhere

then a stranger walks right up to me
she tells me she loves me and sets my heart free
now I’ve something to live for, for something I’d die
cause love’s just something you can’t buy
now I’ve something to live for, for something I’d die
cause love’s just something you can’t buy
