Chain Reaction by Elijah and Elisha Lyrics
[Verse 1: Elisha]
He's 26 years old, flesh and bones
Running through the streets, never had a home
Pop was gone, mom was stoned
Only thing he can turn to was porn
Started really young, real soft core
Got much worse when he was a sophomore
Feed off the flesh with no control
His brain is screaming "More! More!"
And now he's really lost and it hurts
Anything he tries never works
He's angry at God, he's angry at the world
Believe me man it gets worse
He runs the streets, school is out
Finds a young girl who takes the same route
Innocent girl he knows nothing about
Trying to get home to her pops and her mom's
And then he grabs her arms, cause harm. She tries to run
Kicking and scratching but he's much too strong
"Please don't do this!" She cries through her lungs
Hands around her neck, pins her on the wall
Strikes her hard, rips off her cross
All she can think is forgive him God
Then he does the unthinkable/ AHH
[Hook: Chris Ray]
What was taken away from her; Kills her everyday deep inside
She cries, "Someone take this pain out my life"
Somebody's taken her innocence
[Verse 2: Elijah]
Yes he's 6 years old
Everyone thinks he's whole
You smile at him, he smiles back
He's been in pain since a while back
Normal kid he goes to school
A moral kid he knows the rules
Oral fits, he scorns the feud
His parents split, he's so confused!
He has a step dad now
His dad is gone, it's just sad now
His step dad, he abuses him
Physically just bruises him
He goes to his room, he prays to God:
"Lord Jesus, hear my call!
I wanna be loved, not hurt bad
I wanna be hugged, am I not worth that?
No more please!"
He hears footsteps, his door just creaked
Step dad walks in…
"Please, no! Not again!"
He locks the door, strips his clothes
He strikes his face, it's just so wrong
He screams and shouts, mom's not home
He does the unthinkable!
[Hook: Chris Ray]
What was taken away from her; Kills her everyday deep inside
She cries, "Someone take this pain out my life"
Somebody's taken her innocence. (Repeat 2x)
[Verse 3: Elijah]
His innocence stripped, he's now older
Clinging his fist, he's much colder
Thinking "That's it!" He's not whole now
Does God exist? He's not sure now
He thinks back at his past
The way step-dad used to act in his past
Became an addict, his life went down
He's that same dude who is now…
[Verse 3 continued: Elisha]
He's 26 years old, flesh and bones
Running through the streets, never had a home
Pop was gone, mom was stoned
Only thing he can turn to was porn
Started really young, real soft core
Got much worse when he was a sophomore
Feed off the flesh with no control
His brain is screaming "More! More!"
[Hook 1: Chris Ray]
What was taken away from her; Kills her everyday deep inside
She cries, "Someone take this pain out my life"
Somebody's taken her innocence
[Hook 2: Chris Ray]
What was taken away from her
Now it makes her strong everyday
Now she can finally say
"I know I can survive anything!
I know I can survive anything!"
[Elijah (Background)]
Sin is a chain reaction. Sometimes the sins that we commit or struggle with are the same sins that someone has committed against us. It starts somewhere and it continues like a chain reaction. We blame God but the source of the sin is us. We, we made those choices that lead others to make the same choices. But there's always hope, man. in sufferings that we face are to make us stronger. In Christ, we can survive anything. Look at the sin of the cross: It has conquered death
