I Won't Pass It Down Lyrics

Generations of pain

And the stories I could tell

In the shadows of the past

Yeah they're hiding it well

But I've made my mind up

It's time to break free

From the chains that

Bound my family

I won't pass it down no,

I won't pass it on

All this pain that's carried on

For so long

I'll break these chains I'm healing

I'm standing on this hallowed ground

With strength and hope

I'll prove them wrong

Doing this for my children

And their children too

I'll be the one to say

This ends with you

I'll walk away

From the darkness of the past

Step into the light

And a love that will last

I won't let this pain define who I am

I'll be the change, break the cycle

Yes I can

I won't pass it down no,

I won't pass it on

All this pain that's carried on

For so long

I'll break these chains I'm healing

I'm standing on this hallowed ground

With strength and hope

I'll prove them wrong

And I know you think I'm just running away

And that's ok

I'm finally saying no to the abuse and the pain

That you feel is ok

Yeah it won't be easy

But I know I will find my own way

I won't pass it down no,

I won't pass it on

All this pain that's carried on

For too long

I'll break these chains I'm healing

I'm standing on this hallowed ground

With strength and hope

I'll prove them wrong
