Lyrics - Chains by Chicago

I don’t want any trouble.
I don’t want to make any waves.
I don’t want any conscience. and
I don’t wanna be brave.
I’ve kept my distance. my feelings have never been shown.
I know that
I’ve been walking fences,
Denied what
I have known.
I carry chains. (
I carry chains.)
Heavy, heavy chains. (chains that are made.)
I carry chains (
I carry chains) ’round my feet.
I feel the weight (
I feel the weight.)
Chains are the different things that should not be hanging on me.
I put my conscience under a stone, the stone under the ground.
Walked from where
I had left it.
I hoped it couldn’t be found.
My conscience persisted. it’s a haunted seed
I have sown.
Calls me out from the distance
And it just won’t leave me alone.
I carry chains. (
I carry chains.)
Chains that are made. (chains that are made.)
I carry heavy chains. (
I carry chains.)
Talk about the weight. (
I feel the weight.)
Chains are the temporary things that should not be hanging on me.
