SHAKE OFF THESE CHAINS
(J Christie)

Shake off these chains, just let me go
Won't you free from these problems, seems like I carry such a load
Shake off these chains, let me roll
I need something to believe in I need somebody to hold

Sometimes I get so tired of picking up the pieces of my own life
Too many mountains to climb in this world
Sometimes I feel just like I'm on a downward spiral on a roller coaster ride
That's going out of control

Shake off these chains, that shackle me down
There is something deep inside me trying so hard to be found
Shake off these chains, free my soul
I've been lost out on this highway, it's a long and lonesome road

For you and me the waters of the well ran dry
So we counted out the cost
Too many bridges we burnt, no more rivers to cross
Well, it was fine for a while, it was something special,
it belongs to yesterday
Now we go separate ways
Oh yeah …

Sometime I get so tired of picking up the pieces of my own life
Too many mountains to climb in this world
Sometimes I feel just like I'm on a downward spiral on a roller coaster ride
It's going out of control
