Chains I Carry, Chains I Choose
TitanChord
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.
Timing is estimated — lines are spaced evenly across the track.

Lyrics
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.
