Now I've written several songs over the years that had to do with my opposition to the death penalty in my country, which is work that I still do.
And there's a lot of reasons for that.
My own opposition to the death penalty is pretty core.
object to the damage it does to my spirit for my government to kill people because my government is supposed to be me, and I object to me killing people.
It's really simple.
So this is called Over Yonder, and it's also called Jonathan's Song.
