| Song | Breakdown |
| Artist | Michael W. Smith |
| Album | I'll Lead You Home |
| Words & music：michael w. smith and wayne kirkpatrick | |
| Wasn't it long ago | |
| Wasn't it on a new england coast | |
| Wasn't it the standard - people praying to | |
| The son and the father and the holy ghost | |
| One nation over god | |
| Is that what we've now become? | |
| The founding fathers left a noble legacy | |
| To their sons and daughters | |
| To their sons and daughters | |
| Look at what we've done | |
| Look at what we've done | |
| Chorus: | |
| Breakdown, breakdown, breakdown | |
| As we learn to bite the hand | |
| That tries to feed us | |
| Breakdown, breakdown, breakdown | |
| If we say that we are free | |
| Who will believe us | |
| If we breakdown, breakdown, breakdown | |
| Breakdown, break | |
| See the powder on the glass | |
| See the pillow on the street | |
| See the charter of a modern love | |
| With no obligations...or promises to meet | |
| Hear the fear of disease | |
| Hear the baby never born | |
| Hear a people crying out | |
| "somebody save us - oh, please somebody save us | |
| From what we're headed for - from what we're headed for" | |
| Chorus | |
| Breakdown, breakdown, breakdown | |
| As we learn to bite the hand | |
| That tries to feed us | |
| Breakdown, breakdown, breakdown | |
