The Unbreakable Chain
Breaking Unbreakable Chains: A Journey of Redemption and Connection
Lyrics
You wake up and there's something there tugging at your sleeve
You wake up and feel a persistent force trying to get your attention.
It's not the pitter-patter, the one in your dreams
It's not a typical sound, different from the one in your dreams.
Held on by the chain, the unbreakable chain
There's a connection, a powerful and unbreakable bond holding onto you.
Held there by the chain, the unbreakable chain
The same unbreakable bond is keeping you anchored.
You walk and you'll know that the wind is not passing you by
As you walk, you realize the wind isn't just passing by; it's communicating with you.
It's speaking and you listen and the tears don't come out when you cry
You listen, and even when you cry, tears don't express the depth of your emotions.
Cry, cry, cryin' won't break the unbreakable chain
Crying cannot weaken the unbreakable bond.
Cryin' won't break the unbreakable chain
Tears won't weaken the unbreakable bond.
It's thirty years ago and you live with your decision
Reflecting on a decision made thirty years ago, living with its consequences.
You talk to him in a prayer, you send out your transmission
Communicating with someone through prayer, sending out thoughts or messages.
But a prayer won't break the unbreakable chain
Prayers cannot shatter the unbreakable bond.
Your prayers won't break the unbreakable chain
Repeatedly, prayers are ineffective against the unbreakable bond.
Your baby's not yours but he walks the streets of your city
A child, not biologically yours, roams the streets seeking connection.
He wants to know you, there's no self pity, yeah
He wants to know you without self-pity.
It's pulling at your heart, the unbreakable chain
The unbreakable bond tugs at your heart in this situation.
Pulling at your heart with the unbreakable chain
It continues to pull at your heart with an unyielding force.
And you, you put an ad in the paper, it's foolish but maybe
You take a somewhat foolish action, placing an ad in hopes he might find you.
Maybe he'll see 'cause he's searching for mama mia
The child, seeking his "mama mia," might come across the ad.
Oh mama here, mama feel the unbreakable chain
As a mother, you feel the unbreakable bond strongly.
Mama feel the unbreakable chain
The mother continues to feel the unbreakable bond deeply.
You can't believe that it's now, it's turned itself around
Unexpectedly, the situation changes, and you find it hard to believe.
You'll fight to know the way that you look, but you meet him there in town
You struggle to recognize yourself and meet him in town.
Oh, the joy and the fear of the unfailable pain
Experiencing both joy and fear associated with an unavoidable pain.
The joy and the fear of the unfailable pain
The conflicting emotions of joy and fear persist.
He stares at you and you step back and no words are spoken
There's a silent exchange, and no words are spoken.
You say hello to your boy and he says "Mama you've awoken"
You greet your son, and he acknowledges that you've awakened.
Ah, yes you have broken the unbreakable chain
In this moment, you have successfully broken the unbreakable bond.
Yes, you have broken the unbreakable chain
A confirmation that you've indeed shattered the unbreakable bond.
You have broken the unbreakable chain
The realization and repetition that the unbreakable bond are now broken.
Yeah, you have broken the unbreakable chain
A reaffirmation that the previously unbreakable bond is now severed.
