| It’s been handed down for generations
|
| From my grandpa to my dad on to me
|
| All my life I’ve been shackled to a bottle
|
| I never knew what it was like to be free
|
| It’s time to break this chain that’s been holdin' me down
|
| Leave it layin' on the ground
|
| It’s time to make a change, I’ve caused enough pain
|
| Lord, won’t you help me break this chain
|
| I give you thanks for givin' me a reason
|
| And a wife with forgiveness in her smile
|
| Oh I want these two hands to be rock steady
|
| As she’s handin' me our newborn baby child
|
| It’s time to break this chain that’s been holdin' me down
|
| Leave it layin' on the ground
|
| It’s time to make a change, I’ve caused enough pain
|
| Lord, won’t you help me break this chain
|
| It’s time to make a change, I’m tired of this pain
|
| Lord, won’t you help me break this chain
|
| You made the sunshine and the rain
|
| And you can wash away this pain |
