Lyrics[]
[Intro: Matt Cornett]
We're soarin', flyin'
There's not a star in heaven that we can't reach
If we're tryin', soā
we'reā
breakin' free
[Verse: Olivia Rodrigo, with Joshua Bassett]
You knowā
the world can see us
In aā
way that's different than who we are
Creating space between us, 'til we're separate hearts
But your faith, it gives me strength
Strength to believe
[Chorus 1: Olivia Rodrigo, Joshua Bassett & Both]
We're breakin' free
We're soarin', flyin'
There's not a star in heaven that we can't reach
If we're tryin', yeah, we're breakin' free
Oh, we're breakin' free (Ooh, woah)
[Bridge: Joshua Bassett, Olivia Rodrigo & Both]
More than hope, more than faith
This is truth, this is fate
And together we see it comin'
More than you, more than me
Not a want, but a need
Both of us, breakin' free
[Chorus 1: Olivia Rodrigo, Joshua Bassett & Both]
Soarin', flyin'
There's not a star in heaven that we can't reach
If we're tryin', yeah, we're breakin' free (Breakin' free)
[Chorus 2: Olivia Rodrigo, Joshua Bassett & Both]
We're runnin', ooh, climbin'
To get to the place to be all that we can be (Be)
Now's the time (Now's the time)
So we're breakin' free (Oh, we're breakin' free; ooh, woah)
[Outro: Olivia Rodrigo & Joshua Bassett]
You know the world can see us
In a way that's different than who we are
