lyrics

I was wondering why life has got to be so hard
Fighting against the setbacks of another
Watching the circle come round
Shaped by the sins of my mother?
And who my father would be I don’t know
Gone like snow, driven by the wind
To I don’t know where
And I don’t care

I was wondering, how you felt knocked down on your back
Fighting so helplessly but you knew
You could never give in and acquiesce
Without a protest so you bleed anew
And when I suffered the same I realised
That it hurt you far more than me
While I’ll be alright
You lost your fight

But there’s absolutely no way that your story’s going to end like this
The good and the strong, the gentle and true
The loving, the caring, like a vine they grew
Two steps forward one step back
Down through the generations,
The years culminated in you
Take that growth, extrapolate
Trust in yourself, trust in your fate
In something bigger than you
And there’s absolutely no way that your story’s going to end like this
You’re a miracle
Breaking that circle
Breaking that circle
