Song by Bruce Springsteen<br /><br>

You never had a dream like this<br>

Never felt the cold cold steel<br>

Slam you like a fist<br>

Break you down until you kneel<br>

Just like a beggar man<br>

Asking only for redemption<br>

All the things that can't<br>

Make a man believe in heaven<br>

<br>

Fix your eyes upon the bars<br>

Memorize their other side<br>

Like the tatoos on your arms<br>

The brag so loud and tough that night<br>

But now the truth comes out<br>

Fast as feel can do your talking<br>

It sets you free as one guard shouts<br>

Dead man walking<br>

<br>

When neither light nor darkness<br>

When neither night or day<br>

When neither kind nor heartless<br>

When neither lost or saved<br>

When neither still or moved<br>

When neither held or free<br>

Oh to be so human<br>

<br>

Dead man walking<br>

<br>

When neither light nor darkness<br>

When neither night or day<br>

When neither kind nor heartless<br>

When neither lost or saved<br>

When neither still or moved<br>

When neither held or free<br>

Oh to be so human<br>

Oh to be<br>

<br>

Somewhere in a dream like this where<br>

Light of love leads us home<br>

Broken worlds will not be fixed<br>

Engines take us as thy own<br>

We're just like beggars now<br>

On our knees we hear our names<br>

God forgives somehow<br>

We have yet to learn to save<br>

<br>
