Break away

I’ve seen the pain handed down like a chain

Kitchen table talk

Same old blame

Different names

But the story always stops

Right here

Right now

I’m drawing a line in the dust

Hands still shaking

But my spirit’s waking up

I’m gonna break away from the generational curse

Change the way we live each day

Put the kingdom first

From the forward path

I will not stray

My regrets will show me what happens when I do

So I walk Your way

I remember nights

Arguing till the sun came in

Working three jobs

Still felt like we’d never win

But You turned the volume

On that small voice in my chest

Said

“Son

That burden

Ends with you

Take your rest”

I’ll be the one who forgives

Even when it cuts deep

I’ll be the one who speaks life

Over every word they speak

If I stumble

If I fall

I’ll learn

Then stand up tall

‘Cause I’ve seen the cost of turning from Your truth

And I won’t lose it all
