Lyrics for A Chain Unbroken
With words on my heart / People’s pain on my tongue / A mind, body and a spirit broken / So many things come undone / With lives passing by / All together we sigh for the hurt we see in their eyes / A reflection of all the lies
We keep telling ourselves / The water comes from no well / Source of life and we dispel / Cause we’re livin’ in a hell / A mind, body and a spirit broken / So many things still unspoken / Source of life is a chain unbroken / For all the things that we have spoken
So I wanna say
Hold her hand, hold his hand / Reach out and really take a stand / Breath on in to begin / One foot forward is how you start steppin’ in / Quiet lies, pass them by / Open hearts, minds to opportunity / Touch the water, make a sound / It all ripples ripples spinnin’ round and around
With words on my heart / People’s pain on my tongue / A mind, body and a spirit broken / So many things come undone / With lives passing by / All together we sigh for the hurt we see in their eyes / A reflection of all the lies
We keep telling ourselves / The water comes from no well / Source of life and we dispel / Cause we’re livin’ in a hell / A mind, body and a spirit broken / So many things still unspoken / Source of life is a chain unbroken / For all the things that we have spoken
So I wanna say
Hold her hand, hold his hand / Reach out and really take a stand / Breath on in to begin / One foot forward is how you start steppin’ in / Quiet lies, pass them by / Open hearts, minds to opportunity / Touch the water, make a sound / It all ripples ripples spinnin’ round and around / Around and around / Spinnin’ round and around (around and around) / Touch the water, make a sound / It all ripples spinnin’ round and (repeat)
