Break the Chain

Chain reaction

Chained to you

Chain of command

Captain of my sea

Shepherd of the flock

Yet, I walk in the valley, still wanting

Wanting love

Wanting hope

Wanting peace

But all the pieces are scattered

Some destroyed, some lost

I can't put it back the way it was

And in this way I see

You're letting go, I'm free

But still the chain leads back to me

Twisted and tangled

My body's in knots

I long for the stretch of release

And hope that when the last link breaks

I'll find myself underneath

Battered and broken, but still breathing

And when I gasp that first breath

And finally cut this rotting cord

I'll be born
