We sat in horror and watched the Horizon scandal unfold
It really was a true story needing to be fully told
Hundreds of sub postmasters lives lying in ruins
Due to a corporate scandal and wrong doings
A system that was faulty but that was denied
Instead corruption and fraud continuously implied
Years of heartbreak and hardship have followed
Once full happy lives lie eroded and hollowed
Fingers were pointed and judgements were made
The postmasters are guilty the people would say
But gradually Alan Bates uncovered the truth
He turned into a relentless, driven super sleuth
Yet here we are over 20 years later
Still pouring over the inaccurate data
So many lives ripped apart by this atrocious scandal
Corporate suits decided it was a truth too hot to handle
We can’t undo the past and change what has happened
So give people back their money and lives once imagined
Lets also take a moment to stop and pray
For those we sadly lost along the way
