grew up in a small town
and when the rain would fall down
i just stared out my window
dreaming of what could be
and if i'd end up happy
i would pray (i would pray)

trying not to reach out
but when i'd try to speak out
felt like no one could hear me
wanted to belong here
but something felt so wrong here
so i pray (i would pray)
i could breakaway

[chorus:]
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 loved
i'll take a risk
take a chance
make a change
and breakaway

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 (i will)
and breakaway

[chorus]

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
