I stumbled down the darkest path
Then died in U.S. custody
I made my friends around me laugh
Then died in U.S. custody
I kissed my mom when she looked sad
Then died in U.S. custody
I grew an inch since I saw my dad
Then I died in U.S. custody
I closed my eyes and tried to see my home
But this place is the last I’ll ever know
I drew a sky without a cloud
Then died in U.S. custody
I dreamed about a nice warm house
Then I died in U.S. custody
There’s something I can’t figure out
it has to do with history
I tasted blood inside my mouth
Then I died in U.S. custody
I closed my eyes and prayed to see my mom
but this place is the last I ever saw
I’ve got a ghost you'll see her face
She’s out of U.S. custody
I’ve got a ghost you'll hear her voice
She escaped from U.S. custody
I’ve got a ghost, you’ll know her name
So mister just you wait and see
I’ve got a ghost you'll meet her soon
And the rest it ain’t no mystery
