Glenn Hughes
"Justified Man"


Down by the beggar's wall
There is another land
This is the place. I come to set me free
Just like a fighting man lost in a river
I didn't notice I was blind but now I see
They took a photograph
They heard my story
And then the jury tried and sentenced me
And now I'm sanctified, without resistance
I left my body. And I'm gonna let it be
Now I'm standin' on the platform
At the station
I hear the engine of the train
That takes me there
I ain't lookin' back,
Until I reach my destination
Nobody gonna bring me down
I'm a justified man
Inside the hour glass,
The sand keeps turnin'
Outside my window, falls the rain
That washes me
Gone is my fear, need no assistance
And now I'm justified,
Those days are gone you see
I've been livin' in war of speculation
I stand accused but I ain't goin' anywhere
I ain't lookin' back
Until I reach my destination
