You didn't ask for this
Nobody ever would
Caught in the middle of this dysfunction
Its your sad reality
Its your messed up family tree
Now youre left with all these questions
Are you gonna be like your father was and his father was?
Do you have to carry what theyve handed down?
No, this is not your legacy
This is not your destiny
Yesterday does not define you
No, this is not your legacy
This is not your meant to be
I can break the chains that bind you
I have a dream for you
Its better than where youve been
Its bigger than your imagination
Youre gonna find real love
And youre gonna hold your kids
Youll change the course of generations
No, this is not your legacy
This is not your destiny
Yesterday does not define you
No, this is not your legacy
This is not your meant to be
I can break the chains that bind you
Youre my child, youre my chosen
You are loved, you are loved
And I will restore all that was broken
You are loved, you are loved
And just like the seasons change
Winter into spring
Youre bringing new life to your family tree now
Yes you are, you are
Oh, this will be your legacy
This will be your destiny
Yesterday did not define you
Oh, this will be your legacy
This will be your meant to be
I can break the chains that bind you
And just like the seasons change
Winter into spring
Youre bringing new life to your family tree now
