Chains I Carry, Chains I Choose

I was born with chains on my back, Some from sin, some from the track. The world tied knots I never loosed, But some damn chains I, myself, have choosed.

Chains I carry, chains I choose, Some I wear, some I refuse. Freedom’s heavy, prison’s light, But a man still rides with chains at night.

The preacher says, “Lay your burden down,” But I find strength where the weights are bound. Every scar, every loss, every bruise, Made me the man in these chains I choose.

Chains I carry, chains I choose, Some I wear, some I refuse. Freedom’s heavy, prison’s light, But a man still rides with chains at night.

You can break the shackles, you can run and hide, But the chains you choose still walk beside.

Chains I carry, chains I choose, Some I wear, some I refuse. Freedom’s heavy, prison’s light, But a man still rides with chains at night.
