The Chains That Bind You

Have you ever pondered your existence?
To see what life is really all about?
Let your mind wonder out in the distance.
Think about life and beginning to doubt.
Realize what holds you back and begin to shout.
Break the chains that bind us and go on through.
Knowing the owner of the chains was you.
