In the shadow of the morning light
A child hides from the demons in the night
Whispered secrets innocence lost
Tangled in a web of pain and frost
Our house, a broken hope of shattered dreams
Where love is drowned in rivers of whiskey streams
Mama's tears that fall like drops of rain
Daddy's struggles a battle fought in vain
Oh, the chains that bind us, they break and fall
As we rise above, we stand tall
With hearts that mend and souls that mend
In the end, we'll break free my friend
Ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo
Ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo
In a house filled with shadows, darkness all around
A child grows up in silence, never making a sound
Mama's got her demons, daddy's lost his way
Caught between the chaos, feeling worlds away
All the chains that bind us, they break and fall
As we rise above, we stand tall
With hearts that bend and souls that mend
In the end, we'll break free my friend
But even through the darkest nights, a flicker shines within
A strength that can't be broken, a spirit that won't give in
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
And as he grows older, he learns to break the chains
Determined to create a life free from sorrow and pain
