Alcatraz Songtext / Lyric

Snap the latch, stay down low

Come outta your cell and follow me close

Down the dark corridors, past the guards

And into the murky moor, down to the rocky shore

To sail away without a trace

He rescued me from hopelessness

I feel like I've escaped from






Alcatraz, oh, my life was like

Alcatraz, I could have died in that

Alcatraz, what little hope was fading fast

Then I called His name, Lord, erase this impossible

Past, and before I even knew it

No more Alcatraz



This cruel world, cold and dark

Chained to pain and a criminal heart

Lock and key, guns and dogs

Had to have a miracle to beat the odds

Down to the cold concrete, a desperate cry for help

I found Heaven there on my knees

When he saved me from the hell of



He did my time, changed my heart

And set my record straight

He sent me home with a master plan

To help some more escape from
