breakaway

Stratovarius

A silent sigh
A prayer from within
That reaches no one
A frail memory
A teardrop on your skin
Once shed for someone

A desperate cry
That hardly can be heard
Still echoes inside
A lost reverie
You once thought you could reach
Has now come undone

Slowly, gently, you can walk on water
Across the stream, to the other side
Day by day, you re finding your desire
And the soul that you hide
Don t drown in your sorrow
When the walls come down
You re not alone

Face the darkness, find the light
Seize the moment, hold on tight
Raise your head up, breakaway
Know that you don t have to stay
Breakaway, breakaway today

They ll say you are weak
They ll say you are not free
But they don t know you
It s not who you are
It s not what you ve become
But they cannot see

Slowly, gently, you can walk on water
Across the stream, to the other side
Day by day, you re finding your desire
And the soul that you hide

Face the darkness, find the light
Seize the moment, hold on tight
Raise your head up, breakaway
Know that you don t have to stay
Breakaway, breakaway today

Face the darkness, find the light
Seize the moment, hold on tight
Raise your head up, breakaway
Know that you don t have to stay
Breakaway, breakaway
