The dark clouds, bad memories, echoes of where you’ve been,
Do they still, follow you?
Do you just wish they’d fade away?
The ghosts of, old heartbreak, they haunt your troubled mind,
You’re longing for the time,
You won’t feel they’re here to stay.
Chorus.
So you can break the chains,
Holding you from chasing destiny, and,
Just cut away your fears,
Then you can move on, to build a future.
No slave to, the past and, no tears to fog your eyes,
Escape cold fear and doubt,
Kindle fires to warm your love
Leave dark times, behind you, don’t drag them round with you,
And you can start to lose, the,
Demons that have held you down.
Chorus.
Now you can break the chains,
Holding you from chasing destiny, and,
Just cut away your fears,
Then you can move on, to build a future.
Guitar break
Chorus.
Noe you can break the chains,
Holding you from chasing destiny, and,
Just cut away your fears,
Then you can move on, to build a future.
And now you’re, so ready, so glad you’re, on your way.
To live a life in peace,
and all the shadows melt away.
