Break The Cycle           Sarah D

People can be brutal when thinking of themselves,
And not the pain of others in their wake.
The same old song is passed along,
"My parents done me wrong,"
So I don't hurt I guess I'll take.

I'll take what I can, I'll take what I can get.
No matter who I hurt or who cries out.
I'll take what I can, I'll take what I can get.
Is there no one else to think about?

People can be heartless when they think they alone,
Fight demons of doubt, dispair and hate.
The same old song is passed along,
"It's really not my fault."
I'm not to blame, It's just too late.

I'll take what I can, I'll take what I can get.
No matter who I hurt or who cries out.
I'll take what I can, I'll take what I can get.
Is there no one else to think about?

Aberrant behavior today
Is not justified by the past.
Work hard and you'll find a way.
Yesterday's pain doesn't have to last.

If you'll break the cycle, break the chains, leave the hurt behind.
Break the cycle leave the pain, freedom you will find.
If you don't take what you can, don't take what you can get.
No matter who you hurt or who cries out.
Don't take what you can , don't take what you can get.
There is more than you to think about.

People can have power if they will commit
To living life responsibly
And kill the song once passed along
That lied and those decieved
Will live in chains 'til they choose to be free.

If you'll break the cycle, break the chains, leave the hurt behind.
Break the cycle leave the pain, freedom you will find.
If you don't take what you can, don't take what you can get.
No matter who you hurt or who cries out.
Don't take what you can , don't take what you can get.
There is more than you to think about.
