Lyrics
BREAKAWAY (C Matthews) AS THE SHADOWS FALL, I'VE BEEN LOSING HOPE BACK'S AGAINST THE WALL, CAN MY SPIRIT COPE WANNA BREAK THESE CHAINS, THAT HOLD ME DOWN NEED TO SLIP THESE REIGNS, FEEL MY OWN WAY ROUND AND I'M NOT ASKING FOR YOUR HELP... I NEED TO BREAKAWAY, LEAVE BEHIND MY YESTERDAYS I'VE GOT TO MAKE IT ON MY OWN I NEED TO BREAKAWAY, CAST ASIDE MY CHILDHOOD DAYS INTO A MAN THIS BOY HAS GROWN NOW THE RAIN SUBSIDES, AS A NEW DAY DAWNS GROWING PAINS HAVE DIED, AND A MAN IS BORN GONNA TAKE MY PLACE, ON THIS EMPTY STAGE WANNA SHOW MY FACE, TIME TO WRITE MY PAGE AND I'M NOT ASKING FOR YOUR HELP... I NEED TO BREAKAWAY, LEAVE BEHIND MY YESTERDAYS I'VE GOT TO MAKE IT ON MY OWN I NEED TO BREAKAWAY, CAST ASIDE MY CHILDHOOD DAYS INTO A MAN THIS BOY HAS GROWN -SOLO- AND I'M NOT ASKING FOR YOUR HELP... I NEED TO BREAKAWAY, LEAVE BEHIND MY YESTERDAYS I'VE GOT TO MAKE IT ON MY OWN I NEED TO BREAKAWAY, CAST ASIDE MY CHILDHOOD DAYS INTO A MAN THIS BOY HAS GROWN I NEED TO BREAKAWAY, LEAVE BEHIND MY YESTERDAYS I'VE GOT TO MAKE IT ON MY OWN I NEED TO BREAKAWAY, CAST ASIDE MY CHILDHOOD DAYS INTO A MAN THIS BOY HAS GROWN (c) Copyright Craig Matthews 2009

Great rock song with a rough edge. Don't change a thing! I remember listening to this in the song contest - took me a minute to warm to it, but I remember thinking 'yeah, I like this, there's no pretense, it just lets rip' Good one. - John
