Breakaway…
How many times have you wondered you could just fly away from everything? Just listening to Kelly Clarkson’s breakaway, I couldn’t help but wish once more! Here’s the song’s lyrics for you::
Grew up in a small town
And when the rain would fall down
I’d just stare out my window
Dreaming of what could be
And if I’d end up happy
I would pray (I would pray)
Trying hard to reach out
But when I tried to speak out
Felt like no one could hear me
Wanted to belong here
But something felt so wrong here
So I prayed I could break away
[Chorus:]
I’ll spread my wings and I’ll learn how to fly
I’ll do what it takes til’ I touch the sky
And I’ll make a wish
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway
Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I won’t forget all the ones that I love
I’ll take a risk
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway
Wanna feel the warm breeze
Sleep under a palm tree
Feel the rush of the ocean
Get onboard a fast train
Travel on a jet plane, far away (I will)
And breakaway[Chorus]
Buildings with a hundred floors
Swinging around revolving doors
Maybe I don’t know where they’ll take me but
Gotta keep moving on, moving on
Fly away, breakaway
I’ll spread my wings
And I’ll learn how to fly
Though it’s not easy to tell you goodbye
I gotta take a risk
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway
Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I won’t forget the place I come from
I gotta take a risk
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway, breakaway, breakaway…

Very pretty to read or listen to. There was a good article in Reader’s Digest (think that’s where I read it) about KC and it was so well written in that it made her seem like you & me…except that she has, like, an estate…!
Props to her, I think she’s real. Thanks for taking the time to share this!

I’ll let you in a secret….only for ya
..I have never really followed her songs, I just found this one randomly…I was actually browsing youtube for calvin and hobbes! 
But this song caught my attention coz of the lyrics… even more than the voice! I’ll say I have felt like breaking away many times! As you said in a post of yours, “running away is child’s play”… I guess I am still a child at heart!

Oh, I stay so much to myself, it’s probably a form of “running away” but I am not going to argue or kowtow to the extreme people seem to want to go these days. Everyone’s a critic…one of my sisters has been telling me to start a blog for over a year!
I’m glad I did b/c I’ve met you and a couple of other fine people!

haha…I agree with “everybody’s a critic”..!
I guess its a folly most easy to fall into.. Even I had contemplated starting a blog many times, but thought later…n later…n later…
voila, its Odale!
I am sure glad too.. I found nice people and more than that someone who shares so much with me!
Thank you Odale! I was wondering if this is your name… its so cute! What does it mean?
