Look into my eyes, mister, tell me what you see
We could be the same, holding different company
On this wretched island they declared that I am free
And I have paid my debt back to our good society
Long ago I was a father to a family
With a heavy burden they depended upon me
I did what I must do to fill the mouths that I must feed
With my final gamble, put the chains around my feet
We want something, we have nothing
All of us are lost and all alone
We want something, we have nothing
All our dreams and hopes are all but gone
Punishment for what I'd done was harsh beyond belief
Sentenced for my crime, I was transported overseas
Time became a cool and callous cold-hearted enemy
The faces of my children just a distant memory
Fill my glass with whiskey while outside the night is cold
From where I've come to where I am, the story it is told
A strange and awful harvest from the seeds that I have sown
What was once my penitentiary is now my home
We want something, we have nothing
All of us are lost and all alone
We want something, we have nothing
All our dreams and hopes are all but gone
