Break the Chain Lyrics

Lyrics by Tena Clark
Music by Tena Clark/Tim Heintz 
                                       
Intro-
I raise my arms to the sky
On my knees I pray
I'm not afraid anymore
I will walk through that door                                   
Walk, dance, rise
Walk, dance, rise

I can see a world where we all live
Safe and free from all oppression
No more rape or incest, or abuse
Women are not a possession

You've never owned me, don't even know me I'm not invisible, I'm simply wonderful I feel my heart for the first time racing I feel alive, I feel so amazing

I dance cause I love
Dance cause I dream
Dance cause I've had enough                                                                       
Dance to stop the screams
Dance to break the rules
Dance to stop the pain
Dance to turn it upside down
Its time to break the chain, oh yeah
Break the Chain
Dance, rise
Dance, rise

In the middle of this madness, we will stand I know there is a better world Take your sisters & your brothers by the hand Reach out to every woman & girl

This is my body, my body's holy
No more excuses, no more abuses
We are mothers, we are teachers,
We are beautiful, beautiful creatures                                       

I dance cause I love
Dance cause I dream                                                         
Dance cause I've had enough
Dance to stop the screams
Dance to break the rules
Dance to stop the pain
Dance to turn it upside down
It's time to break the chain, oh yeah
Break the Chain, oh yeah
Break the Chain

Dance Break Inst.                                                                      
Dance, rise
Dance, rise

Sister won't you help me, sister won't you rise x4

Dance, rise
Dance, rise

Sister won't you help me, sister won't you rise x4

This is my body, my body's holy
No more excuses, no more abuses                                                
We are mothers, we are teachers,
We are beautiful, beautiful creatures

I dance cause I love
Dance cause I dream
Dance cause I've had enough                                                         
Dance to stop the screams
Dance to break the rules
Dance to stop the pain                                                            
Dance to turn it upside down
Its time to break the chain, oh yeah
Break the Chain, oh yeah

INTERNATIONAL DAY FOR THE ELIMINATION OF VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN

25th   NOVEMBER   

The United Nations General Assembly has designated November 25 as the International Day for the Eliminaton of  Violence  Against  Women .

 …  "the urgent need for the universal application to women of the rights and principles

with regards to  equality, security, liberty, integrity and dignity of all human beings¨.

     The international recognition that women have a right to a life free from violence is a

recent one. Historically, their struggles with violence, and with the impunity that often

protects the perpetrators, is linked with their fight to overcome discrimination .

 

                               SONG : BEHIND THE WALL by TRACY CHAPMAN

Behind The Wall Lyrics  by  Tracy  Chapman



Last night I heard the screaming
Loud voices behind the wall
Another sleepless night for me
It won't do no good to call
The police always come late
If they come at all

And when they arrive
They say they can't interfere
With domestic affairs
Between a man and his wife
And as they walk out the door
The tears well up in her eyes

Last night I heard the screaming
Then a silence that chilled my soul
I prayed that I was dreaming
When I saw the ambulance in the road
And the policeman said
"I'm here to keep the peace
Will the crowd disperse
I think we all could use some sleep"

 VIOLENCE  IS  NEVER
 EVER  A CHOICE THAT
 A HUMAN BEING  SHOULD MAKE  , EVER ¨.
