The Hangman Lyrics

Tell you story 'bout a man I knew
No direction to the things he do
Never lied, never compromised
Never judge you with judging eyes
Didn't mind if you told your story
About love, their faith and glory, girl
Why love? Why hope?
Hangman gonna tighten the rope
Why must I try?
Neither of us could sympathize
Young mother with a tear in her eye
Never bothered to sympathize
As her son when he said his last breath
One moment closer to death, she said

Why love? Why hope?
Hangman gonna tighten the rope
Why must I try?
Neither of us could sympathize
