I'm finally out in the clear and I'm free I've got dreams I'm livin' for I'm movin' on where they'll never find me Rollin' on to anywhere I'll break away, yes I'm on my way Leavin' today, yes I'm on my way Just when you think you had it all figured out Runnin' scared can change your mind I never knew I had so much to give How hard times can fool ya Oh I'm okay, I'm alright Feelin' good out on your own I'll break away, I'll break away tonight I've got dreams I'm livin' for I'll break away Yes, I'm on my way I'm leaving', leavin' today Yes, I'm on my way This is my escape Yes, I'm on my way I'll break away Yes, I'm on my way
