One day I'll leave Guantanamo
I was thrown in here 12 years ago
I've been beaten down and broken
But never faced a charge
One day I'll leave Guantanamo
Senses are deprived, the clock turns slow
If there's mercy here it's never put on show
Even when we don't eat, our dignity is crushed
One day I'll leave Guantanamo
My captors took the gold and slipped away
I'm a killer and a terrorist they'd say
Did the Americans believe them?
Or did they even care?
One day I'll leave Guantanamo
Do they know that I'm a human after all?
They've done everything they can to make me small
Demonized and hidden far beyond the wall
One day I'll leave Guantanamo
It's not freedom that offends me
It's the hypocrisy that burns
One day I'll leave Guantanamo
I was thrown in here 12 years ago
I've been beaten down and broken
But never faced a charge
One day I'll leave Guantanamo
Senses are deprived, the clock turns slow
If there's mercy here it's never put on show
Even when we don't eat, our dignity is crushed
One day I'll leave Guantanamo
My captors took the gold and slipped away
I'm a killer and a terrorist they'd say
Did the Americans believe them?
Or did they even care?
One day I'll leave Guantanamo
Do they know that I'm a human after all?
They've done everything they can to make me small
Demonized and hidden far beyond the wall
One day I'll leave Guantanamo
It's not freedom that offends me
It's the hypocrisy that burns
One day I'll leave Guantanamo
