Lyrics
Breaking Free
We could only try but in the end we gave it all that we had
Well I could never change the world's great plans
I’m just an average guy I’m not superman
I've always gone to bat for incredible dreams
But I’m telling you
I'm not as tough as I seem
We could only try but in the end we gave it all that we had
I think it's time now
That we say goodbye
A ship in safe harbor never journeys to the Promised Land
So I'm breaking free
I hope you'll understand
I could never walk through the fires of glory
Although I'd like to think yea that’s my story
And I could never be more than I really am
So I'm telling you
As an honest man
We could only try but in the end we gave it all that we had
I think it's time now
That we say goodbye
A ship in safe harbor never journeys to the Promised Land
So I'm breaking free
I hope you'll understand
We could only try but in the end we gave it all that we had
They say when you love you’ve got to let it be free
I never really thought that included me
So I’m taking a stand
Draw a line in the sand
One last shot
Just to see where I land
We could only try but in the end we gave it all that we had
I think it's time now
Time to say goodbye
Once upon a time I used to dream that we’d be more in the end
But I’m letting go
There ain’t no more sand
Oh oh oh
Once upon a time I used to dream that we’d be more in the end
We couldn’t climb higher even if we tried
We could only try but in the end we gave it all that we had
So I’m Breaking Free
There ain’t no more sand
Oh whoa oh oh woah oh oh oh oh
Hey hey
Oh whoa oh oh woah oh oh oh oh
Hey hey
