The Unbreakable Chain Lyrics - Singles - Daniel Lanois

You wake up and there's something there tugging at your sleeve 

It's not the pitter-patter, the one in your dreams 

Held on by the chain, the unbreakable chain 

Held there by the chain, the unbreakable chain 

You walk and you'll know that the wind is not passing you by 

It's speaking and you listen and the tears don't come out when you cry 

Cry, cry, cryin' won't break the unbreakable chain 

Cryin' won't break the unbreakable chain 

It's thirty years ago and you live with your decision 

You talk to him in a prayer, you send out your transmission 

But a prayer won't break the unbreakable chain 

Your prayers won't break the unbreakable chain 

Your baby's not yours but he walks the streets of your city 

He wants to know you, there's no self pity, yeah 

It's pulling at your heart, the unbreakable chain 

Pulling at your heart with the unbreakable chain 

And you, you put an ad in the paper, it's foolish but maybe 

Maybe he'll see 'cause he's searching for mama mia 

Oh mama here, mama feel the unbreakable chain 

Mama feel the unbreakable chain 

You can't believe that it's now, it's turned itself around 

You'll fight to know the way that you look, but you meet him there in town 

Oh, the joy and the fear of the unfailable pain 

The joy and the fear of the unfailable pain 

He stares at you and you step back and no words are spoken 

You say hello to your boy and he says "Mama you've awoken" 

Ah, yes you have broken the unbreakable chain 

Yes, you have broken the unbreakable chain 

You have broken the unbreakable chain 

Yeah, you have broken the unbreakable chain
