Breaking Free
Troy & Vanessa Hudgens Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We're soarin', flyin'
There's not a star in heaven that we can't reach
If we're trying so we're breaking free

You know the world can see us
In a way that's different than who we are
Creating space between us
'Til we're separate hearts

But your faith it gives me strength
Strength to believe

We're breakin' free
We're soarin', flyin'
There's not a star in heaven that we can't reach
If we're trying
Yeah, we're breaking free
Oh, we're breakin' free (oh)

Can you feel it building
Like a wave the ocean just can't control
Connected by a feeling
Ooh, in our very souls (very soul, ooh)
Rising 'til it lifts us up
So every one can see

We're breakin' free
We're soarin', flyin'
There's not a star in heaven that we can't reach
If we're trying
Yeah, we're breaking free
Oh, we're breakin' free (ooh)

Runnin', climbin'
To get to that place
To be all that we can be
Now's the time
So we're breaking free
We're breaking free (ooh, yeah)

More than hope, more than faith
This is true, this is fate
And together we see it comin'
More than you, more than me
Not a want, but a need
Both of us breakin' free

We're soarin', flyin'
There's not a star in heaven that we can't reach
If we're trying
Yeah, we're breaking free (breakin' free)

We're runnin', ooh, climbin'
To get to the place
To be all that we can be (be)
Now's the time (now's the time)
So we're breaking free
Oh, we're breaking free
Oh





You know the world can see us
In a way that's different than who we are
