1. Songs which I composed music for
Scene 1
You get 10 to 20 or life here,
for murder in the first degree you will never get free
from cell block 33.
Guards:
We are guards here and we are disgusted
But we work here by force
And we get paid a lot
So we are
Saving your life
Welcome to our fine institution! Discipline works here, rewards make us all stay in line.
Welcome to the great justice system! We all behave now but watch out because we'll get out in time.
On the inside just one thing will matter,
Hold your head up and don't be afraid. Stay alert,
watch for blades.
We will cut you and eat out your liver
or threaten your children and friends if you end up inside
Watch your behind.
Guards:
We are guards here and we are disgusted
But we work here by force
And we get paid a lot
So we are
Saving your life
Welcome to our fine institution! Discipline works here, rewards make us all stay in line.
Welcome to the great justice system! We all behave now but watch out cause will get out
We all behave now but watch out cause we will get out
We all behave now but watch out Cause we'll get out in time!
Scene 4
Nicole:
I see the old me in you
Making a change was the bad thing to do
Feeling broken and so bruised
I wish I could go back and become someone new
I was Just like you, just had to tell you
Yasmin:
I thought I would never get a friend
Because I was so afraid
Didn’t know what to do
But now I feel safe
Just make a change
And you might hit fame
Never put yourself down
Or call yourself lame
We are just the same
We are just the same

2. Scene 7
Guard:
Every day I look at you
I wonder if you look back.
Do you feel the way I feel for you?
In my heart I wonder that.
Governor:
Never new I’ll find love here
I wonder if he knows that
In my heart there are some feelings
I’m falling that’s a fact
Both:
I know I feel something strange
I don’t know if you feel the same
But honestly if I agree
It will be plain to see,
That I’m falling for you.
Scene 8
Nicole:
Before I got to prison, I lived a good life,
It was Carla who then pulled out the knife.
It’s her fault I’m here, yet she doesn’t care,
Why all the betrayal, it’s just not fair.
Chorus:
I’m living my life; I’m living in hell,
I’m living in prison and I’m here to tell.
It’s bad in here I’m in so much pain,
It’s such a shame, no one knows my name.
Carla:
I don’t care about her; I am who I am,
It’s not my fault; it’s just the way I am.
I know it was a mistake, yet there’s no turning back,
And from my mistakes, I’m learning that,
Chorus:
I’m living my life; I’m living in hell,
I’m living in prison and I’m here to tell.
It’s bad in here I’m in so much pain,
It’s such a shame, no one knows my name.
Yasmine:
Forget about the past, it’s all about now,
The hard bit is figuring a way out.
You were both good friends, what went wrong.
It’s about time, you both get along.
Chorus:
I’m living my life; I’m living in hell,
I’m living in prison and I’m here to tell.
It’s bad in here I’m in so much pain,
It’s such a shame, no one knows my name.

3. Scene 13
First verse
I started of confused, not knowing what to do,
Giving up on hope realising I couldn’t cope
I was betrayed and I try to move on
But that wasn’t the case, I’m far from gone
Second verse
You changed me for the best, didn’t care about the rest,
Now I’m standing here, thinking you’re so blessed,
My time has come, were near to an end,
But don’t believe I’m not here till the end
Chorus
Goodbye my Friend, good bye my angel
You made me be who I am today
Goodbye my inmate, Goodbye my miracle
Forever I’ll remember you in my prayers
Third Verse
I’ve waited so long to find a friend
I guess we got to part Cuss it’s our final bend,
I don’t want you to go and I’ll miss you so
We made it for a reason only time will show
Chorus
Goodbye my Friend, good bye my angel
You made me be who I am today
Goodbye my inmate, Goodbye my miracle
Forever I’ll remember you in my prayers
Fourth verse
You got to make the most of the freedom that will come
So make sure you say Hi to my mum,
Jokes now aside, should have never lied
Baby you know you’re one of a kind
Chorus
Goodbye my Friend, good bye my angel
You made me be who I am today
Goodbye my inmate, Goodbye my miracle
Forever I’ll remember you in my prayers
Chorus (Acapella)
Goodbye my Friend, good bye my angel
You made me be who I am today
Goodbye my inmate, Goodbye my miracle
Forever I’ll remember you in my prayers

4. Final Song
We know we can be strong
we know we were here so long
Giving up isn’t our game
we are bursting like flames
At first we were not coping
but we kept on Hoping
now we have come to an End
now we can no longer blend
Freedom we scream
Freedom we Yell
Freedom is what we have achieved
We Know we were here so long
we know we can be strong
we are bursting like a flame
giving up isn’t our game
At first we were hoping
but now we are coping
We are no longer blending
we have come to an End, End, and End
