Work Song (Break the Chains)

Lyrics

Mm, mm, hmm-mm-mm
 In life, we're told
 What we work is what we are
 Work on love (work)
 Work on life
 Are we working together?
 To make a change
 Work on (work)
 Work your life away (work)
 Telling yourself
 You're gonna rest
 Some other day (work)
 Oh, the lives we live
 Wearing ourselves
 Down to the bone
 Gotta work (work)
 Gotta move
 And break the chains, yeah
 ♪
 Some folks ain't nothing
 But what they do to earn their pay
 Forgetting to live their lives
 In any meaningful way
 And there are those that dance through life
 Without any discipline
 Throwing the blame on others
 For the lives they've put themselves in
 And we carry on
 The work that others have done
 Doing our best to steer it
 The right way
 Lord knows, some folks carry the pain of work they have done
 And they carry that weight
 Way too long
 So, we gotta work on the things
 That really matter to us
 Work on the things that bring hope and love to us
 Go on, work
 ♪
 Work on the things that matter to us
 Bring back hope and love
 Hmm-hmm-hmm, mm-hmm-hmm-hmm
 I believe, I believe my work here is done
 I believe my work here is done
