Intro

Break, wake, shake away, break ...break away,
Feeling what ...feeling what I wanna do,
Oo - oo, oo - oo, oo! Oo - oo, oo, oo,oo - oo!

Verse 1

Time will not wait for me,
Time is my desti - ny,
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---------...

Chorus

...I can break away from that lonely life,
And I can do what I wanna do, 
And break away from that empty life,
When my world is new 

Verse 2

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 in - stead,
Found out it was in my head,
Found out it was my head,
Found out it was in my head------

Chorus

And I can break away 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 

Bridge

Oh, boy, you'd jump for joy...
When you ...break away!
Break away------, break away!
Break away------, break away!

Coda

Feel the vibrations in all the sensa - tions,
Breaking away!
Feel the vibrations in all the sensa - tions,
G G/F# (E)
Breaking away!
