“Breaking Away” (Lyrics by Martin Blasick)
I’ve been down
Can’t even explain it all
It’s like walking blind
Through an endless hall
No way out
At least not that I can see
Until a glimpse of you
Turns me right side out
Completely
Breaking away
Stronger than gravity
Bright as a starburst
Out of the insanity
I’m breaking away
There’s a fire
It must have been always there
Burning inside me
Quelled from lack of air
From this spark
My heart is a burning flame
A state of clarity
Gave me will to play
This same game
Breaking away
Stronger than gravity
Bright as a starburst
Out of the insanity
I’m breaking away
This is my story
This is my glory
Breaking away
Breaking away
Stronger than gravity
Bright as a starburst
Out of the insanity
Breaking away
Stronger than gravity
Bright as a starburst
Out of the insanity
I’m breaking away
Waiting and see
