Lyrics

Breakin' Out
(Greg Tamblyn, Richard Helm)

I felt so trapped, controlled and confined
Basically imprisoned by stuff in my mind
But deep in my heart, one day it was clear
My limitations were all about fear
A voice in my head
Said I might fail
That scared voice was trying
To keep me in jail

But I’m breakin’ out of prison
Breakin’ away
From living too often
In shades of gray
I’m takin’ some chances
Pushing through doubt
I’m over the edge, baby
I’m breakin’ out

Outside the walls at last I feel free
To hear my true calling, to chase a few dreams
GThe whole world is waiting, it's big and it's wide
There's plenty of room for what I got inside
It’s just two little letters
I had to rearrange
Then scared became sacred
And man what a change

I’m breakin’ out of prison
Breakin’ away
From living too often
In shades of gray
I’m takin’ some chances
Pushing through doubt
I’m over the edge
I’m breakin’ out

I’m breakin’ out my vision
Breakin through to joy
Breakin’ into laughter and makin’ some noise
Breakin’ the rules
At first can feel strange
Breakin’ out of prison
Is worth all the change

I’m takin’ my chances
Pushing through doubt
I’m over the edge, baby
I’m breakin’ out
