Break the Chain

I raise my arms to the sky

On my knees I pray

I'm not afraid anymore

I will walk through that door

Walk, dance, rise

Walk, dance, rise

I can see a world where we all live

Safe and free from all oppression

No more rape or incest, or abuse

Women are not a possession

You've never owned me, don't even know me

I'm not invisible, I'm simply wonderful

I feel my heart for the first time racing

I feel alive, I feel so amazing

I dance 'cause I love

Dance 'cause I dream

Dance 'cause I've had enough

Dance to stop the screams

Dance to break the rules

Dance to stop the pain

Dance to turn it upside down

It's time to break the chain, oh yeah

Break the Chain

Dance, rise

Dance, rise

In the middle of this madness, we will stand

I know there is a better world

Take your sisters & your brothers by the hand

Reach out to every woman & girl

This is my body, my body's holy

No more excuses, no more abuses

We are mothers, we are teachers,

We are beautiful, beautiful creatures

I dance 'cause I love

Dance 'cause I dream

Dance 'cause I've had enough

Dance to stop the screams

Dance to break the rules

Dance to stop the pain

Dance to turn it upside down

It's time to break the chain, oh yeah

Break the Chain, oh yeah

Break the Chain

(Dance Break Inst.)

Dance, rise

Dance, rise

Sister won't you help me, sister won't you rise (x4)

Dance, rise

Dance, rise

Sister won't you help me, sister won't you rise (x4)

This is my body, my body's holy

No more excuses, no more abuses

We are mothers, we are teachers,

We are beautiful, beautiful creatures

I dance 'cause I love

Dance 'cause I dream

Dance 'cause I've had enough

Dance to stop the screams

Dance to break the rules

Dance to stop the pain

Dance to turn it upside down

It's time to break the chain, oh yeah

Break the Chain, oh yeah

Break the Chain

(Repeat chorus)
