I know one version was by Tony Orlando, who performed in Singapore on Tuesday or something, but I'm not too sure who sang version. I got it from here.
The lyrics are very meaningful. This song's used for the Yellow Ribbon project. People were giving yellow ribbons (you didn't need to donate but it was good if you did :D) in church on Sunday. It's to give ex-convicts a second chance.
The lyrics also refer to this:
I'm really still in prison, and my love, she holds the key
A simple yellow ribbon is what I need to set me free
Isn't it so sad the way society discriminates against convicts, not realizing some of them have really converted and just want to fit back into society once more?
I'm not too sure if the Yellow Ribbon thing is still in church this coming Saturday. Neil, do you know?
Hope you enjoyed the song! You can find the lyrics here and find out more about the Yellow Ribbon project here.
