FREE AT LAST

For nearly forty years he was kept behind bars 
Dreaming one day he'd see the sun and stars 
Always said he didn't commit the terrible crime
DNA has now proved he wasn't there at the time

Maurice Hastings was convicted back in 83
A single gunshot was fired but it was not he 
A lady named Roberta was pronounced dead 
The gunshot found its way into her head 

"A terrible injustice" that's according to the DA 
Mister Hastings was emotional needless to say
Finally will get to see the sun and those stars 
Thankfully no longer kept behind prison bars
