Lyrics
[verse - voice 1]
I've been playing it safe, standing in the wings
Watching from the shadows while somebody else sings
But there's a voice inside me getting harder to ignore
Telling me it's time to step out on the floor
[verse - voice 2]
I know exactly what you mean, I feel it too
Like there's a bigger version waiting to break through
We don't have to fit the box they built for us
We can write our own song, make our own kind of fuss
[chorus - both]
We're breaking free, breaking free
Letting go of who they thought we'd be
Climbing higher, reaching for the light
Breaking free, breaking free tonight
No more hiding, no more holding back
We're breaking free and we're not looking back
[verse - voice 1]
I used to think the safe way was the only way
Now I'm learning courage shows up when you finally say
What you really feel instead of what's expected
Standing tall instead of staying quiet and protected
[verse - voice 2]
Together we can do what felt impossible alone
Turn the whole gymnasium into our own zone
Every eye upon us, every doubt in the room
We'll turn it all around, we'll make the fear give way to bloom
[chorus - both]
We're breaking free, breaking free
Letting go of who they thought we'd be
Climbing higher, reaching for the light
Breaking free, breaking free tonight
No more hiding, no more holding back
We're breaking free and we're not looking back
[bridge - both]
This is the moment, this is our chance
To finally take the leap, to finally dance
No more waiting on the sidelines of our lives
We're stepping forward, we're coming alive
[chorus - both]
We're breaking free, breaking free
Letting go of who they thought we'd be
Climbing higher, reaching for the light
Breaking free, breaking free tonight
No more hiding, no more holding back
We're breaking free and we're not looking back
