(Verse 1) When you break your children past recognition, There’s no redemption waiting at the end. A child is sacred, deserves a chance to live— Your past does not excuse what you pass down to them. (Chorus) Your pain runs deep, you’re fighting just to breathe, Survival mode, memories burn like acid on skin. Do or die—you lived, no harm denied, But your children are not property of your pain. (Verse 2) Pain strikes like lightning through the veins, Ignites the dark, awakens isolation. It does not have to live inside your children— Find the strength to rise, to choose protection. (Verse 3) What you break keeps echoing forward, What you heal becomes inheritance. Let your courage be the legacy— Generations built on value, not violence. (Bridge – tightened, heavier, more lyrical) Violence teaches silence to the soul, Hands it down like a burning torch. You may never taste the joy you deserved, But your children still can—if you choose to stop the course. It feels unjust, it feels like loss, To protect what you never received. But breaking the cycle is the victory— Do or die, you survive so they’re free. (Final Chorus – elevation, bigger) Your pain runs deep, you’re fighting just to breathe, But pain does not give you the right to repeat. You lived through hell, and that truth remains, Still—your children are not property of your pain. (Outro) It’s not easy, not even close, But you can still choose how love survives. Breathe it into your children, You are not forgotten, You are not lost. Hold them close, feel your heart still beat— tonight Tonight, that love is enough.
