Broken Chains Video (MV)

They told us that we were just a minority
Pushed outside, one more pathetic anomaly
We broke the chains they tied us with but it didn't really make us feel free
On our own in an endless captivity
While they cycle the same inactivity
These broken chains don't change the hate that stopped us being who we felt we should be

Come a little closer, can you hear them?
Kicking up a fuss about freedom
But here we stand as slaves
We got what we wanted but the fact is
It feels like we're still held captive
Surrounded by our broken chains

It's alright
This is freedom

So we're fighting and struggling to make it out
Kind of guessing the problems that pin us down
Maybe it's not them it's us that if we're honest we'd be better without

Come a little closer, can you hear them?
Pretty little songs of freedom
But here we stand as slaves
What if we're too quick to point fingers?
Crippling captor within us
Laughing at our broken chains

It's alright
This is life there's no escaping our skin
This is freedom
Just to make the most of the mess that we're in

Liberation, it came like an old time friend
And I'll always the remember the words he said
Those who never know they're slaves can never know how sweet it is to be free

Come a little closer if you hear me?
If you dare to get near me?
Can you tell we're both the same
Lend me your ears and I'll tell you
A story of hope for the breakthrough
Freedom from those broken chains

It's alright
This is freedom
