In the middle of the night, wakened by the wind Or was it something from my past, come to call again? It was the presence of the pain that I could not escape And it wrapped around my soul like a ball and chain
Chorus: All of us have a heartache, all of us have been stained All of us long for freedom, but there's only one who can break This ball and chain
In the middle of the night, wakened by the wind Or did I hear it call my name like a faithful friend? It was the presence of the peace that I could not escape And it wrapped around my soul like a warm embrace
CHORUS
Facing all my fears knowing that He's near I stand tall, healing as His tears wash my lonely years He calls to me in the middle of the night
CHORUS (2x) ...But there's only one who can break There's only one who can break There's only one who can break this ball and chain
