Lyrics
[verse]
I was living small, folded up inside
Wearing someone's shadow, swallowing my pride
Then I found the door that was there the whole time
Stepped into the light and left the cage behind
[verse]
You don't own the air that I breathe tonight
You don't own the fire burning in my eyes
I was quiet water, now I'm ocean wide
Nothing's gonna hold this heart, nothing's gonna hide
[chorus]
I'm breaking free, watch me rise up like a flame
Nothing in this world's ever gonna feel the same
I don't need permission, I don't need your name
I'm breaking free, I'm breaking free tonight
[verse]
Every wall I climbed, every doubt I fought
Made me who I am, every lesson that it taught
Now the sky's wide open, now the road is clear
I'm not looking back, I'm not staying here
[chorus]
I'm breaking free, watch me rise up like a flame
Nothing in this world's ever gonna feel the same
I don't need permission, I don't need your name
I'm breaking free, I'm breaking free tonight
[bridge]
Hands up high, let the music take control
Every heartbeat now belongs to my own soul
This is my moment, this is my design
I was born for this, this freedom's mine
[chorus]
I'm breaking free, watch me rise up like a flame
Nothing in this world's ever gonna feel the same
I don't need permission, I don't need your name
I'm breaking free, I'm breaking free tonight
