[Verse 1]
He's just a young boy out of school
Living his world like he wants to
They're makin' laws, but they don't understand
Turns a boy in to a fighting man

They won't take me
They won't break me

No one could tell him what to do
Had to learn everything the hard way
He's on the street, breakin' all the rules
I'm telling you that he's nobody's fool

They won't take me
They won't break me

Now he's leavin', gettin' out from the masquerade
Oh, got to go

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
I'm finally out in the clear and I'm free
I've got dreams I'm livin' for
I'm movin' on where they'll never find me
Rollin' on to anywhere
I'll break away, yes, I'm on my way
Leaving today, yes, I'm on my way

Just when you think you had it all figured out
Runnin' scared can change your mind
I never knew I had so much to give
How hard times can fool you
Oh, I'm okay, I'm all right
Feeling good out on your own

[Outro]
I'll break away, I'll break away tonight
I've got dreams I'm living for
I'll break away
Yes, I'm on my way
I'm leaving, leaving today
Yes, I'm on my way
This is my escape
Yes, I'm on my way
I'll break away
Yes, I'm on my way
