She's running from shadows in her mind Grew up too early, before her time
She don't know what she's running from
She's always out tryin' to deal her hand Guess what it takes to love her man
Still don't know what she's running from
* The letters she wrote never seem to get through Her baby and man, they were waiting too
And everyone just watched her tumble down and fall She's breaking the chains
She had lost the deck that she had strived for And now it won't let her home in time for
her little baby's gradutaion day
Now she been caught with her loaded dice Lost in a maze now she'll pay the price
She's haunted by the echos of dream undone
Nothing's gonna change from staying the same
Yeah, she's breaking the chains, she's breaking chains Just breaking chains, Ooh oh no
Nobody thought that she'd change her ways Her victory glows and her strength remains
Her man and child were her only guiding light
