When you're young and so alive

The lesson learned is how to survive

Life's a struggle, a push and pull

You pull together and you'll get through

Nothing's good, nothing's bad

It's what you make it when you get there

Stand or fall, dig down deep

Walk on water or drown at sea

You can't break these chains

Together forever, no matter what they say

You can't break these chains

Together forever, getting stronger every day

Strings be taut with a rebel heart

Looking for clues as to who we are

We gotta stand up for what we believe

Put your life on the line if that's what you need

In the heat of the night, you might get burned

In the fire of passion or Lady Luck's turns

You can have all the dreams you can stand

But don't be left with a ticket in your hand

You can't break these chains

Together forever, no matter what they say

You can't break these chains

Together forever, getting stronger every day

With you by my side

There's nothing I can't do

So just hold on

'Cause it's finally our turn to make the rules

Young boys looking for trouble

Young girls live a heartache double

Day after day, week after week

The streets are full of this give and take

Whatever you want is who you are

A doctor, a lawyer, a movie star

The whole world is in our sight

Together we can make it, make it alright

You can't break these chains

No matter what they say, no matter what you do

You can't break these chains

Together forever, getting stronger every day

You can't break these chains

Together forever, till the day we die

You can't break these chains

Together forever, no matter what they say

You can't break these chains

Together forever, come what may

You can't break these chains

No, no, no, you can't, can't break these chains

You can't break, you can't break, break these chains

You can't break, no, no, no, you can't break these chains

No, no, no, no, no, no, you can't break, you can't break these chains
