Lyrics
[Verse]
I'm burnin' up
Inside these four walls
Pressure's mountin'
My spirit starts to fall
The clock keeps tickin'
But I'm stuck in place
I've had enough
It's time to break the chains
[Verse]
They talk
They preach
But they don't understand
They drain my soul
With their demands
I'm tired of playin' their corporate game
I need to find a way
To find my own flame
[Chorus]
I wanna break free
Break away and fly
Leave it all behind
Spread my wings and touch the sky
Oh
I'm breakin' free
Breakin' out
Oh can't you see?
I won't be held down
I'm gonna be me
[Verse]
I was chained to my desk
Always on the grind
Living for the paycheck
I was runnin' out of time
I had dreams beyond these office walls
But the rat race had me trapped
I was standin' tall (uh-huh)
[Verse 2]
I punched in
I punched out
Day in and day out
I was just a cog in the machine
No room to break out
But one day I woke up
Something deep within me stirred
I couldn't take it anymore
It was time to be heard (yeah, yeah)
[Chorus]
I'm breakin' free from this nine-to-five (oh-oh-oh)
No more shackles holdin' me down
I'm feelin' alive
I'm cuttin' loose
Breakin' these chains (woah-oh)
Gonna chase my dreams
No more wage slave
No more pain (yeah, yeah-yeah)
[Verse]
I walked away
Left it all behind
A job that drained me
A state of mind (yeah, yeah)
But I found a new place
A brand new start
Now I'm catchin' dreams
And followin' my heart
[Verse]
No more Monday blues
No more endless stress
I'm livin' my passion
I must confess
The office walls are now my stage
Where I can shine
Where I can engage (ooh-yeah)
[Chorus]
I quit the old
Found something new
A better journey I'm embarkin' on with you
No more feeling down
Life's takin' flight
I'm soar above the clouds
And everything feels right (ooh-ooh)
[Verse]
Wakin' up in the morning
Dreadin' the day
The same old routine
It's drivin' me insane
But I made up my mind
It's time to break free
Say goodbye to the chains
I'm takin' the leap
[Verse 2]
I walked out that door
A smile on my face
Left all my worries in that old
Cold place
I found a new job
Where dreams can ignite
A chance to be happy
To soar and take flight
[Chorus]
No more clock-watchin'
No more feelin' blue
I'm livin' my life
And the best part is you
I'm leavin' the past
Movin' forward
It's true
New beginnings
New horizons
I'm ready to pursue
