Congratulations, you've earned yourself a million dollars
It was a long road, but you've succeeded
Despite being caged, beaten and mistreated
A million dollars, you're welcome
You can now buy back time, memories and milestones
Daughter still your daughter, only difference is she's grown
It's ok that you've missed her birthdays, holidays and graduations
You now have no financial worries
From here, your life's amazing
Odds were against you, but you've been significantly blessed
Couldn't have made a million dollars if there was no mistake, we had to address
Innocent, guilty
Tomato, tomato
At least you weren't on death row
Am I right
That would've been a hard mistake to come back from
Thankfully, you still have your life
Million things could've gone wrong
Grace of God you made it home
A million dollars richer
