The young man read from the constitution
His jittered voice seeking retribution
He raised his head up in desperation
His piercing eyes pleading for salvation
May he seize the day
May justice prevail
May he live to fight another day
Climbing up the wall
Passionate, head-strong
Could he get it wrong
The old man laughed with condescension
Waived his finger with sordid tension
Didn't care for any of the allegations
And slammed the hefty folder in frustration
He can take it all away
With a single sway
Put it all behind and never think again
Or will he choose to see
All that lies beneath
And keep the oath he took
You weigh it out and you get the picture
There is nothing holding up the fixture
It's all about interpretation
Shiny shoes and silky presentation
Tuck me in tonight
Hug me, hold me tight
Stroke my hair and say it'll be alright
Walk with me tonight
The Moon is full and bright
Look into my eyes and see through me
May he seize the day
May justice prevail
May he live to fight another day
Climbing up the wall
Passionate, head-strong
Could he get it wrong
