Da, da, ra, ra, ra, ra, ra Da, ra, ra, ra, ra, ra Da, ra, ra, ra, ra, ra, ra Da, ra, ra, ra, ra, ra, ra Da, ra, ra, ra, ra, ra Da, ra, ra, ra, ra, ra, ra Grew up in a small town and when the rain would fall down I'd just stare out my window Dreaming of what could be and if I'd end up happy I would pray (I would pray) Trying hard to reach out but when I tried to speak out Felt like no one could hear me Wanted to belong here but something felt so wrong here So, I prayed I could break away I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly I'll do what it takes 'til I touch the sky And I'll make a wish, take a chance, make a change and breakaway Out of the darkness and into the sun But I won't forget all the ones that I love I'll take a risk, take a chance, make a change and breakaway Da, ra, ra, ra, ra, ra, ra Da, ra, ra, ra, ra, ra Da, ra, ra, ra, ra, ra, ra Wanna feel the warm breeze, sleep under a palm tree Feel the rush of the ocean Get onboard a fast train, travel on a jet plane, far away and breakaway (I will) I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly I'll do what it takes 'til I touch the sky And I'll make a wish, take a chance, make a change and breakaway Out of the darkness and into the sun But I won't forget all the ones that I love I'll take a risk, take a chance, make a change and breakaway Buildings with a hundred floors, swinging around revolving doors Maybe I don't know where they'll take me but Gotta keep moving on, moving on, fly away, breakaway I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly Though it's not easy to tell you goodbye I gotta take a risk, take a chance, make a change and breakaway Out of the darkness and into the sun But I won't forget the place I come from I gotta take a risk, take a chance, make a change and breakaway Breakaway, breakaway
