Escape lyrics

He's just a young boy out of school

Livin' his world like he wants to

They're makin' laws, but they don't understand

Turns a boy in to a fightin' 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 tellin' you that he's nobody's fool no

They won't take me

They won't break me

No, no, no

Oh now he's leavin', gettin' out from the masquerade

Oh gotta go

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

Leavin' 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 ya

Oh I'm okay, I'm alright

Feelin' good out on your own

I'll break away, I'll break away tonight

I've got dreams I'm livin' for

I'll break away

Yes, I'm on my way

I'm leaving, leavin' 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

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 don't need to stay
