No Chains

Inside I know I'll succeed

I have faith from which I feed

Dreams you see, they're never too far

Don't have others let you think that they are

From what they say and what they suggest

You are one and they would know best

But they are fools that drag their heels along

With no ambition to them, you would belong

If you make the move

And you see it through

No chains can hold

No chains can hold you down

They would chain and drag you around

Pick you up and throw you down

They needle nothing right into your brain

Until they see you break down screaming

The trap of life where victims are caught

All dreams erased and thoughts they rot

An empty cavern just working to feed

On hearts and minds that never succeed

If you make the move

And you see it through

No chains can hold

No chains can hold you down

And you'll work so hard

To break from the pack

And they try so hard to stab at your back

Don't let them deny what you must achieve

You fight

For your sanity

I would work to harvest success

My thoughts a dream that will never rest

And though some badger and rip at my soul

My power positive will bury them whole

So stand aside or roll with the flow

It's time to reach and take full control

Or you could be another welfare case

And you'll make the move

And you'll see it through

No chains can hold

No chains can hold you down
