"Can't Remake the Sky" - A Song
Image generated by staff

I tried to paint the sky 
But couldn't remake the moment 
No, you had to be there 
With her and I 

I sang a song to the river 
But the water didn't care 
No, you had to be there 
To see her hand in mine 

Don't you miss your moment? 
It will surely pass you by 
You can't relive a moment 
Only in your dying mind 

So hold on to it 
Cause you can't remake the sky 

I tried to mould a mountain 
But couldn't climb my way down 
No, you had to be there 
To see my dreams flow through her hair 

I tried to tell my tale 
But even with endless pages filled 
You had to be there 
To feel her lips and see her smile


About the Artist
Lee Call

Lee Call is currently serving a 20-year non-violent sentence. He arrived at Lawton prison determined not to let his time be wasted. From the beginning, he made a deliberate choice: to use this chapter of his life to grow, to learn, and to become someone he could be proud of. Writing became one of the central ways he pursued that commitment. As an aspiring writer and artist, he set goals rooted in his own definition of success—seeking guidance, building skills, contributing something meaningful to others, and finding a community that wanted to see him thrive.
For Lee, writing is both an anchor and an offering. It is how he stays aligned with the man he is becoming, how he builds a future for himself and his family, and how he shares a voice he once feared would go unheard.
