Robert Moffatt - Break Those Chains

I guess my life's been pretty good
Never stopped to really think about
What is must be like to walk
In other peoples' shoes
No animosity
More like naivete
Since everyone is equal
They must have lived just like me

Now I'm opening my eyes
And I empathize
With the suffering you've lived
How can we make this right

I'll do my part to break those chains
Why they still exist is so insane
They should have faded long ago
Let me help to break those chains
Till not a shred of them remains
And we can live as one
I wanna help to break those chains

I can't imagine what it's like
To wake up every day and wonder
If my child will be OK
Or if I'll make it home tonight

Broken down and kicked around
For so many years
Time has come to set things right

You'll get no fight from me
Except to help the world to heal
This can't be fantasy
We've got to work to make this real

Broken down and kicked around
For so many years
Time has come to set things right

I'll do my part to break those chains
Why they still exist is so insane
They should have faded long ago
Let me help to break those chains
Till not a shred of them remains
And we can live as one
I wanna help to break those chains

I'll do my part to break those chains
Why they still exist is so insane
They should have faded long ago
Let me help to break those chains
Till not a shred of them remains
And we can live as one
I wanna help to break those chains
