Break the Chain

Lyrics

A hot Southern night. It was 1955 Mother brought another stranger home for supper Father's gone and won't be home until Christmas time Lock the door and turn the lights As the footsteps tapped the floor, inside they trembled Could they take another drunk abusive night? Because we don't have the answers All we know is that it's time to end this pain Because the time is now or never One more gеneration thrown into the flames Only thirteen, waking up in a backsеat Never knowing when or where the next meal's coming from Or if her mother's ever coming back It's an addiction to the smack But can we really blame her? The scars in her run deep It's all she knows to keep her mind from flashing back It only takes one life to break this chain (The power of one) A commitment that the past will never be in vain Your history will never be the same This is a song for all those born into the fight The past won't be forgotten But you're stronger than your sorrow A tragic story with an ending left to write Will you be the victim or the promise of tomorrow? This is a song for all those born into the fight The past won't forgotten, but our time is only borrowed A tragic story with an ending left to write Will you break the chain and be the promise of tomorrow?
