Chains
[Verse 1: Peter Cetera]
I don't want any trouble
I don't want to make any waves
I don't want any conscience
And I don't wanna be brave
I've kept my distance
My feelings have never been shown
I know that I've been walking fences
Denied what I have known

[Chorus: Peter Cetera, (Bandmates)]
I carry chains (I carry chains)
Heavy, heavy chains (Chains that I made)
I carry chains (I carry chains) around my feet
I feel the weight (I feel the weight)
Chains are the different things
That should not be hanging on me

[Verse 2: Peter Cetera]
I put my conscience under a stone
The stone under the ground
Walked from where I had left it
I hoped it couldn't be found
My conscience persisted
It's a haunted seed I have sown
Calls me out from the distance
And it just won't leave me alone
[Chorus: Peter Cetera, (Bandmates)]
I carry chains (I carry chains)
Chains that are made (Chains that I made)
I carry heavy chains (I carry chains)
Talk about the weight (I feel the weight)
Chains are the temporary things
That should not be hanging on me

[Outro: Peter Cetera]
I carry chains
Chains that I made
I carry chains
I feel the weight
