Lyrics

We’re (Dm)soar in’;

(G)fly in’.

(Bb)There’s not a star in heav en that we can’t reach.

If we’re try in’, so we’re break (Bb)in’ free.

You know the world can see us

in a way that’s dif f’rent from who we are.

Cre at ing space be tween us,

till (Bb)we’re sep ’rate hearts.

(Bb)But your faith, it gives me strength,

(Bb)strength to be lieve.

We’re break in’ free.

(Dm)soar in’;

fly in’.

(Bb)There’s not a star in heav en that we can’t reach.

If we’re try in’,

yeah, we’re break (Bb)in’ free.

Oh, we’re break in’ free.

Can you feel it build

ing,

like a wave the o cean just can’t con trol, con nect ed by a feel in’, oh, in our ver (Bb)y souls,

(Bb)ris ing till it lifts us up so (Bb)ev ’ry one can see?

We’re break in’ We’re (Dm)soar in’; fly

in’.

(Bb)There’s not a star in heav en that we can’t reach.

If we’re try in’,

yeah, we’re break (Bb)in’ free.

Oh, we’re break in’ free.

(Dm)Run nin’, climb

in’, to (Bb)get to that place to be all that we can be.

Now’s the time, in’, so we’re break (Bb)in’ free.

Oh, We’re break in’ free.

(F)in’ free.

More than hope, more than faith, this is truth, this is fate; and to geth er, we see it com in’.

More than you, more than me, not a want, but a need: both of us break in’ free.

(Em)Soar in’, (A)fly

in’.

(C)There’s not a star in heav en that we can’t reach.

If we’re try in’, yeah, we’re break (C)in’ free.

Break in’ free.

Oh, we’re break in’ free.

You know the world can see
