Lyrics
There's a darkness upon me that's flooded in light
In the fine print they tell me what's wrong and what's right
And it comes in black and it comes in white
And I'm frightened by those who don't see it

When nothing is owed, deserved or expected
And your life doesn't change by the man that's elected
If you're loved by someone you're never rejected
Decide what to be and go be it

There was a dream
One day I could see it
Like a bird in a cage I broke in and demanded that somebody free it
And there was a kid, with a head full of doubt
So I scream til I die or the last of those bad thoughts are finally out

There's a darkness upon me that's flooded in light
In the fine print they tell me what's wrong and what's right
There's a darkness upon me that's flooded in light
And I'm frightened by those who don't see it

This was amazing, the strength and the frustration, the struggle for what's right and the song lyrics right there with him. I've never seen this show, but wikipedia tells me Garrow was a trailblazer for the defense side of modern trials, and this vid had that moral imperative to fight, really awesomely captured here.

Thank you so much! I'm delighted Garrow's strength and struggle shone through.

The show is really worth watching; it's a BBC miniseries (three seasons of four episodes each) and the production values (as you might expect from the BBC) are incredible.
