Lyrics

BREAK THE CHAIN
(John Tracy Publishing, ASCAP)

From the moment his first born came into the world
He wasn?t quite prepared
It was much more than being unsure and scared

He never learned from his own mom and dad
How to verbalize love to share
After so many years, the power wasn?t there

He could break the chain and say ?I love you?
Break the chain and say ?I?m sorry?, too
Don?t follow a legacy that will only bring you pain
Have the courage to break the chain

Now his children both married and gone
The cycle starts over again
Will they make sense of their troubles within

As they teach their own family
All they know about how to live
Will they pass on the most important thing to give

The gifts they bear will not compare with what spoken love can bring
Will they finally see and set them free
To be all they can be


Will they break the chain and say ?I love you?
Break the chain and say ?I?m sorry, too?
To be a provider is not enough ? your work will end in vainHave the courage to break the chain

I?ll break the chain once and for all
No matter what the cost
Before the curse lives on
I?ll break the chain for those who lost

I?m starting now

I?ll break the chain and say ?I love you?
Break the chain and say ?I?m sorry?, too
?Cause it?ll change their life
It might even change the world
If we only break the chain
We?ve gotta break the chain
