Break Away Lyrics

Break break shake away, break breakaway
Now I'm free to do what I want to do

Time will not wait for me, time is my destiny
Why change the part of me that has to be free
The love that passed me by, I found no reason why

But now each day is filled with the love, that very same love
That passed me by and that is why
I can breakaway from that lonely life
And I can do what I want to do
And breakaway from that empty life and my world is new

When I laid down on my bed I heard voices in my head
Telling me now hey it's only a dream
The more I thought of it I had been out of it
And here's the answer I found instead
(Baby baby) found out it was in my head (baby baby)
(Baby baby) found out it was my head (baby baby)
(Baby baby) found out it was in my head (baby baby)

And I can breakaway to the better life
Where the shackles never hold me down
I'm gonna make a way for each happy day
As my life turns around

Come on we're free to breakaway (oh boy you jump for joy)
Now won't you come on (when you breakaway)
You're free to breakaways (breakaway)
Come on you're free to breakaway (breakaway)
Now won't you come on (breakaway)
You're free to breakaways (breakaway)

Feel the vibrations in all the sensations, breakaway
Feel the vibrations in all the sensations, breakaway
