when did it start
that i feel more sorrow than joy?
for sure it wouldn’t make sense
to stay in a city lifelong
but now i start to realize
that i shouldn’t live a comprise
for such a long time i’ve been waiting for the moment to
break free
didn’t know where to go when i was young
didn’t know where to stay when i was older
then it seemed to be right to settle here
i tried, i tried, i tried, i tried
break free
what is going to come
fits my nature better
i am sure
it feels good
giving a voice to these thoughts
that i held back for so long
a torrential river of new ideas
is pouring out of my heart
for such a long time i’ve been waiting for the moment to
break free
didn’t know where to go when i was young
didn’t know where to stay when i was older
than it seemed to be right to settle here
i tried, i tried, i tried, i tried
break free
