Breakaway

Grew up in a small town
And when the rain would fall down
I'd just stare out my window

Dreaming of what could be
And if I'd end up happy
I would pray

Trying hard to reach out
But when I'd try to speak out
Felt like no one could hear me

Wanted to belong here
But something felt so wrong here
So I pray
I could breakaway

I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly
I'll do what it takes till I touch the sky
And I'll make a wish, take a chance, make a change
And breakaway

Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I won't forget all the ones that I loved
I'll take a risk, take a chance, make a change
And breakaway

Wanna feel the warm breeze
Sleep under a palm tree
Feel the rush of the ocean

Get onboard a fast train
Travel on a jet plane, far away
And breakaway

I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly
I'll do what it takes 'til I touch the sky
And I'll make a wish, take a chance, make a change
And breakaway

Out of the darkness and into the sun
I won't forget all the ones that I loved
I gotta take a risk, take a chance, make a change
And breakaway

Buildings with a hundred floors
Swinging 'round revolving doors
Maybe I don't know where they'll take me but
Gotta keep moving on, moving on
Fly away, breakaway

I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly
Though it's not easy to tell you goodbye
I gotta take a risk, take a chance, make a change
And breakaway

Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I won't forget the place I come from
I gotta take a risk, take a chance, make a change
And breakaway, breakaway, breakaway

I love this soundtrack of "Princess Diary 2" since the first I heard last year. The song was so fit in with my feelings at the time. There I was, felt so trapped in a very stalled situation. Every where I looked at, I only saw a very tall and thick wall. Each night I wished that next morning would grant me an opening that allowed me to get away from the suffocating condition.

One day, when I expected less....there it was.....the door opened. Gingerly, I spread my wings, prepared to fly away. But I found the sun was so blinded into my eyes. The heat burnt my skin. Okay, I thought to myself, be patient.....this would happened to everyone, I just have to hang on and everything would be alright in time......

But the time went by...... the heat kept burnt through my skin, deeper and deeper. I felt my wings torn, and still I couldn't see through the blinded sun.... I got scared.... I slowed down.....thought everything over again.....reconsidered my option.....

And here I am now......back to the original place, surrounded by the tall wall, but hopefully not too thick. I've seen the outside world. And I know what's the best I should do in the future. I just hope that I will have the strength I need to reach that option. In the mean time, I'll just sing along with Kelly Clarkson and dream away......

I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly

Though it's not easy to tell you goodbye
I gotta take a risk, take a chance, make a change
And breakaway


Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I won't forget the place I come from
I gotta take a risk, take a chance, make a change
And breakaway, breakaway, breakaway
