Good stuff as usual Tom. Allowing the lyrics and melody to guide the song and keeping it simple. Your voice has great sincerity.

Pleasant and nicely easy-going melody with good lyrics.

Breaking the Cycle
(A Song of Peace and Hope)

Intro

We’ve been walking this road, so long, so worn,
A trail of tears through a field of thorns.
But somewhere deep, a whisper grows,
A voice that says, "It's time to let it go."

Verse 1
The weight of the past, it’s heavy and cold,
Stories of vengeance, the lies we’ve been told.
We carry the hurt like a badge on our sleeve,
But love is the thread that we’ve yet to weave.

Chorus
Let’s break the cycle, rise above the flames,
No more pointing fingers, no more casting blame.
The chains of hatred, we can leave behind,
It starts with a choice, a change of mind.

Verse 2
A child is born with an open heart,
But we teach them the walls, we pull them apart.
Yet the sun doesn’t ask who’s wrong or right,
It just keeps on shining, day and night.

Bridge
It’s not too late to begin again,
The wounds can heal, let the love begin.
One spark of kindness can light the way,
A brighter tomorrow starts today.

Chorus
Let’s break the cycle, rise above the flames,
No more pointing fingers, no more casting blame.
The chains of hatred, we can leave behind,
It starts with a choice, a change of mind.

Outro
The earth will turn, and seasons will shift,
What we plant today becomes the gift.
So plant the seeds of love and light,
And watch the world turn toward the light.

It starts with us, it starts tonight.
