She used to wear the chains of gold
and now her chains have changed.
She loved those ankle bracelets...
until she felt the pain...
of those chains around her ankles,
her feet are bound by two
the sound just goes right through her...
what's a prisoner to do?

as she recalls the brawl that began as a spat!

she feels like she's choking around her shoes
and the untimely passing of an inmate's soul
just makes the gang sad...her old little crew.
The chains are hell, in bondage she feels...
and there is no way out...in her senior year!

I've cried and I've lied, fought so long
Sad beyond compare
I have no life to share
I walk this lonely road
Carrying a heavy load
Feeling all depress
I live

O Lord of Redeeming grace,
Draw my friend into Your warm embrace,
Remove the pain of the Past,
Help him find victory that
