Lyrics
Grew up in a small town and when the rain would fall down, I’d just stare out my win dow.
Dream in’ of what could be and if I’d end up hap py.
I would pray.
Try ing hard to reach out but when I tried to speak out, felt like no one could hear me.
Want ed to be long here but some thing felt so wrong here.
So I’d pray.
(I would pray) I could break a way.
I’ll spread my wings and I’ll learn how to fly.
I’ll do what it takes ’til I touch the sky.
I’ll make a wish.
Take a chance.
Make a change and break a way.
Out of the dark ness and in to the sun.
But I won’t for get all the ones that I love.
I’ll ta take a risk.
Take a chance.
Make a change and break a way.
Dah, dah, dah, dah, dah.
Dah, dah, dah, dah, dah.
Dah, dah, dah, dah, dah, dah, dah.
break a way.
Out of the dark ness and in to the sun.
But I won’t for get the place I come from.
I got ta take a risk.
Take a chance.
Make a change and break a way,
break a way,
break a way.
