[Intro] [Verse 1] This world looks like a chain Of heavy broken hearts . . . It chains my brothers and sisters all apart Link after link It clatters thru my land This long heavy chain of broken hearts. Selfish pride is one link in this chain And you better drive it out of your heart - Brother - sister when you do it’s then that you’ll get loose From this long heavy chain of broken hearts. [Chorus] It’s this long heavy chain of broken hearts It’s this long heavy chain of broken hearts You gotta find your union before you can get free From this long heavy chain of broken hearts. [Verse 2] Fear is a link in this chain Of sorrow and trouble and pain . . . Drive out your fear and you will break apart This long heavy chain of broken hearts. Jealousy in a link of the worst worry blister and curse . . . Join our union band and bring with your hands This long heavy chain of broken hearts. [Chorus] It’s this long heavy chain of broken hearts It’s this long heavy chain of broken hearts You gotta find your union before you can get free From this long heavy chain of broken hearts. [Verse 3] It’s when you are free from this chain Love will come and filled you up again Show your friends and neighbors how to break away From this long heavy chain of broken hearts. [Chorus] It’s this long heavy chain of broken hearts It’s this long heavy chain of broken hearts You gotta find your union before you can get free From this long heavy chain of broken hearts.
