    “Break Free”

    I lay beneath the starry sky.

    I let the gentle breeze carry my soul

    To the shores of a silent haven . . .
    ----------------------------
    High above this cloud of doubt,

    Sunshine is waiting to break through.

    I’ll learn to linger as long as it takes me . . .
    I’m ready to . . .
    Break free____
    ----------------------------------
    When my self esteem is bruised and broken,

    What I desired to say remains unspoken.

    When I’m face down to the floor, I can’t take it anymore.

    I find myself wandering to distant places,

    I feel like I’m surrounded by a sea of faces____
    ----------------------------------------
    Though my confidence is lost,
    Chorus–>
    I’ll break free no matter what the cost.

    This sadness is not gonna take me down!

    All my eyes can see is the pain that surrounds me,

    I say I’m gonna break free now_____
    -------------------------------------
    When my self respect is blown away,

    I’m torn apart by the words they say.

    When I’m done with second chances,

    And I can’t count on circumstances.
    When I feel I’m all alone . . .
    Unseen, unheard, unknown . . .
    ---------------------------
    I know I’ve been here before,

    Feeling so insecure and unsure
    I’m not gonna let it be the defeat of me,
    bridge—>
    I’ve still got the rest of the world to see.
    ------------------------------------

    Though my confidence is lost,

    I’ll break free no matter what the cost . . .
    chorus–>
    This sadness is not gonna take me down!

    All my eyes can see is the pain that surrounds me,

    I say I’m gonna break free now____
    –repeat chorus--
    -------------------------------

    Now I’m not gonna worry anymore, . . .
    I know one day I’m gonna soar____
