(mmm-mmm) Pages on the table,
ink dried under cold gray light
Tracing every statement written through a crooked night
They marked the name down early,
closed the heavy door
Left a life in silence standing on the courtroom floor
Break the chains holding down the truth tonight
Let the morning uncover what was kept from sight
We are screaming out for justice in the open air
Break the chains, let them hear us everywhere
(break the chains)
(hear
us
loud) No more waiting in the cold and gray
Clear the record,
bring the light of day
(bring the light)
Years slip by the window,
but the truth remains
Standing in the shadow of unbroken chains
Break the chains, set the captive free
(set them
free) Let the truth stand for history
