This song is about breaking the chains that doom us to repeat patterns we learned in our familes. Each of us has the power to make a change for the next generation.

In memory of my dad...

A song about family

Where are you, father?
Tell me what happened to you.
Mama said you left when I was just a little boy.
Just one day said that's it then up, we're through.

But now I'm standing here a grown, grown man.
I want to tell you that it's no, no thanks to you.
I do not blame you for the things you did to me.
You only did to me what your father did to you.

Break the chain, Father.
Break the chain and raise your family.
Break the chain, Sister.
Because the family is the way it's got to me.

Where are you, mother?
Tell me what happened to you.
You left me all alone, all alone in the foster home
Just one day said that's it and up, we're through.

But now I'm standing here a grown, grown man.
I want to tell you that it's no, no thanks to you.
I do not blame you for those things you did to me.
You only did to me what your mother did to you.

Break the chain.
Break the chain.
Break the chain.
Break the chain.
