You didn't ask for this

Nobody ever would

Caught in the middle of this dysfunction

It's your sad reality

It's your messed up family tree

And all your left with all these questions

Are you gonna be like your father was and his father was?

Do you have to carry what they've handed down?

No, this is not your legacy

This is not your destiny

Yesterday does not define you

No, this is not your legacy

This is not your meant to be

I can break the chains that bind you

I have a dream for you

It's better than where you've been

It's bigger than your imagination

You're gonna find real love

And you're gonna hold your kids

You'll change the course of generations

No, this is not your legacy

This is not your destiny

Yesterday does not define you

No, this is not your legacy

This is not your meant to be

I can break the chains that bind you

Cause you're my child

You're my chosen

You are loved

You are loved

And I will restore

All that was broken

You are loved

You are loved

And just like the seasons change

Winter into spring

You're brining new life to your family tree now

Yes you are

You are

No, this will be your legacy

This will be your destiny

Yesterday did not define you

No, this will be your legacy

This will be your meant to be

I can break the chains that bind you

And just like the seasons change

Winter into spring

You're brining new life to your family tree now
