Chris Kirby - Unreasonable Doubt

Every day I wake with so much weight on my shoulders
Black and white just seems to fade to grey as I get older
Knots in my stomach, life in my hands
A monster before me claiming he's a man
I could kill him myself, I could
If I wasn't bound by the gown and the gavel, I would
This scared little girl over there
Somebody's daughter

Everybody knows that he did it
He's done everything but all out admit it
And I hear her cry
But my hands are tied
The jury's out
Well beyond unreasonable doubt

They're gonna say
"She was asking for it - A skirt that short is an invitation"
"After all he's just a man, and she led him to temptation"
Now she's got knots in her stomach, face in her hands
A shell of herself on her way to the stand
If she could stop it right now she would
But telling the truth don't do her no good
She's already lost, she thinks
Why even bother?

Everybody knows that he did it
He's done everything but all out admit it
And I hear her cry
But my hands are tied
The jury's out
Well beyond unreasonable

The law is the law
Gotta bite my tongue
Gotta watch him walk
I said the law is the law
But she's somebody's daughter
She's somebody's daughter
The girl is somebody's daughter
And he

Everybody knows that he did it
He's done everything but all out admit it
And I hear her cry
But my hands are tied
The jury's out
Well beyond unreasonable doubt
