Alice in chains she's had on all her life
She hit the ground, cut down from a broken home
Moved in the streets when she was only fifteen
She's never been alone

She's been in and out of jail
No one to turn to, nowhere to go
There's a better way than that
You don't have to live this way

Hush, hush
Hear me, don't you cry
You know, there's a better way
Oh no...
Hush, hush

Alice in chains she's had on all her life
but now she's broken them
After all these painful years
Wipe away the tears

Don't try the times that you think you control your life
There's no excuses for who you are
You can be who you wanna be
Don't be afraid to break the chains

Hush, hush
Hear me, don't you cry
You know, there's a better way
Oh no...
Hush, hush

Hush, hush
Hear me, don't you cry
Do you know, there's a better way
Oh no...
Hush, hush

Hush, hush
Hear me, don't you cry
Didn't know there's a better way
Oh no...
Hush, hush
