Another song, this one about getting away from it all and achieving the unthinkable.
I can't take it anymore,
All these days of sitting
Alone in the dark.
You people cut me to the core,
And I can't stand the pain.
You've gone too far.
You never gave me a chance,
Shunned me all my life instead.
Your prejudice is poison to me.
Why can't you understand?
I'm going out of my head.
Affection has always been.
Unknown to me.
Well, now it's time
For this to end.
No more torture.
Never again.

[Chorus:]
Destroy the bars of the cage!
Tear down the walls that block the way!
Run, fly, it's time to escape!
You'll never stop me!
I'm breaking away!

I nearly drowned in my tears,
Hiding from the world,
Darkness my only friend.
My life was ruled by fear.
As the shadows fell in,
I wished it all would end.
Soon my hope evaporated,
And my soul departed.
I lived and breathed death.
I was always so hated.
I tried so hard yet
You despised my every breath.
I'm unwanted but
That's gonna change,
'Cause now it's time
To get away.

[Chorus]

I'm breaking away...

The unforgettable moment!
I finally manage to
Break the chains!
I proved you all wrong!
Now I'm free
To your dismay.
Open your eyes!
Can you see me now,
In the sky,
Flying so high?
I'm sorry I was never
Like the rest of you.
But it doesn't matter.
Now I've made it through.
You'll never bring me down!
My feet won't touch the ground!
I...

Destroyed the bars of the cage!
Tore down the walls that blocked the way!
Did what it took to escape!
And you never stopped me
From breaking away!
