Anti-Death Penalty Song June 19, 2007
Posted by Idta in : Death Penalty , trackback
Eric Bogle has written a beautiful song called Singing the Spirit Home about an execution in South Africa. The guards who come to take the condemned man to his death have no mercy for him. But the other prisoners sing for him. Their voices are the last sounds he hears . . . .
“Other hearts beat with him in his final desperate hour.
From the darkness of the prison came the sound of his brothers singing.
‘Courage,’ their voices told him. ‘You do not walk alone.’ â€
This song is also on By Request
