[John Cooper:]
This night
Nothing like any other night
Can't take anymore
You say I'll never be nothing
Cause us suffering
Something to ignore
These things you say
You make me weak but I have changed
No way, I am stronger than before
[John Cooper (Jen Ledger):]
I will break
Breaking free
Coming alive
I broke these chains
Never be afraid to live my life (never be afraid to live my life)
Break, breaking free
One last time
No matter what they say, I will never change
And I know I can break (break) break (break)
Look out, I'm breaking free
[Lacey Sturm, & Jen Ledger (Both):]
This is who I am
You don't understand
(You never even try) to swim
I think you're listening
Drop defence
(You stab and twist the knife)
[John Cooper, Lacey Sturm and Jen Ledger (All):]
These things (these things)
You say (you say)
They don't hold me (I'm not your slave)
No way (I'm stronger than before)
[John Cooper, Jen Ledger (Both):]
I will break
Breaking free
Coming alive
I broke these chains
Never be afraid to live my life (never be afraid to live my life)
Break, breaking free
One last time
No matter what they say
I will never change
And I know I can break (break) break (break)
Look out, I'm breaking free
[John Cooper:]
Overcome, chains undone
No fear can hold me down
I know I can rise above it
Overcome, chains undone
No fear can hold me down
I know I can rise above it
[John Cooper and Jen Ledger:]
I will break
Breaking free
Coming alive
I broke these chains
Never be afraid to live my life (never be afraid to live my life)
Break, breaking free
One last time
No matter what they say
I will never change
[John Cooper and Lacey Sturm:]
And I know I can break (break) break (break)
I will break (I will break)
Look out, I'm breaking free
I'm breaking free
(Breaking breaking, this is freedom, this is freedom)
I am breaking free
