silhouettes above the cradle hold me down
they won`t let me go the wrong way
my mother taught me all the fables, told me how
in the end all the sinners have to pay
but...
i don`t wanna live like my mother
i don`t wanna let fear rule my life
and i don`t wanna live like my father
i don`t wanna give up before i die
he worked so hard his bones are breaking
he wore them down but long ago he lost the feeling
his good intentions leave me shaking, show me how
i don`t ever want to end up like he did
and...
[chorus]
when i have kids
i won`t put any chains on their wrists, i won`t
i`ll tell them this
there`s nothing in this world that you can`t be if you want it enough Send " Silhouettes" Ringtone to your Cell
