Breaking The Chain

Angry words just like a whip across my back
I remember just how it felt
Made a promise right then
And there to never
Do that to no one else

I’m breaking the chain
No more taking all the hurt and
All the wrong turning right around and passing it on
Spreading the shame

I’m breaking the chain
Tried passing the blame for the shape this old world’s
In ‘bout as long as I can maybe it’s time I quit pointin’
My finger and try lending a hand
I’m breaking the chain maybe that’s where the end of
The sorrow starts little by little doing our part

Making a change I’m breaking the chain
I’m breaking the chain maybe that’s where the end of
The sorrow starts little by little doing our part
Making a change I’m breaking the chain no more
Taking all the hurt and all the wrong turning right
Around and passing it on spreading the shame
I’m breaking the chain
