Ollis Oien - Break The Chain

I'm trying to do the right thing
I've been trying to pick myself up by my dreams
But the system was designed
To keep me from my life

Who wants me to believe I'm anything but free?

Tell me how to break the chain that holds me
Show me how to shake the pain that controls me
Teach me its ok to lay by the warm sea
Spending my days swaying like a palm tree
Cause I don't wanna be just a cog in the machine

When survival hangs on a string
Then happiness is on a leash
Frankly it's hard to see
How the system's helping me
I just can't believe
People weren't born free
Tell me how to break away
Show me there's a better way

Tell me how to break the chain that holds me
Show me how to shake the pain that controls me
Teach me its ok to lay by the warm sea
Spending my days swaying like a palm trees
Cause I don't wanna be slaving my days away

Palm Tree!

Plant a garden by the sea
I'll grow food for you and me
We can live like we're meant to be
We can breathe since we're finally free

Tell me how to break the chain that holds me
Show me how to shake the pain that controls me
Teach me its ok to lay by the warm sea
Spending my days swaying like a palm tree
I want to be the one
To grow all my own food
Living in a world
Where no one else has to struggle to survive
And nature is the one truth
Keeping us alive and we all live in virtue
Freedoms not a fight
It just comes with you
As a birthright
When the earth hugs you for the first time
As you taste the clean air in a world of love
Where we all help each other
And no one's left out of the picture
And you're worth more
Than any number
On a screen
So come on dream with me
