Michael W. Smith - Breakdown Lyrics
Words & music: michael w. smith and wayne kirkpatrickWasnt it long agoWasnt it on a new england coastWasnt it the standard - people praying toThe son and the father and the holy ghostOne nation over godIs that what weve now become?The founding fathers left a noble legacyTo their sons and daughtersTo their sons and daughtersLook at what weve doneLook at what weve doneChorus:Breakdown, breakdown, breakdownAs we learn to bite the handThat tries to feed usBreakdown, breakdown, breakdownIf we say that we are freeWho will believe usIf we breakdown, breakdown, breakdownBreakdown, breakSee the powder on the glassSee the pillow on the streetSee the charter of a modern loveWith no obligations...or promises to meetHear the fear of diseaseHear the baby never bornHear a people crying outSomebody save us - oh, please somebody save usFrom what were headed for - from what were headed forChorusBreakdown, breakdown, breakdownAs we learn to bite the handThat tries to feed usBreakdown, breakdown, breakdownChorus
