lyrics

The stars were dancing when I pulled into town
I picked my ego up and turned it around
Voices of angels sang a hymn in my ear
The tune was heavy and the meaning was clear
The message moved me in a sweet symphony
Lifted my spirit into sweet harmony

When they sang, "Break away"
It's a new day
It's the morning of your life
Break away - This is your day
Make it count, make it right, break away, break away

Some people can't believe in mystical things
But I believed it when I heard the angels sing
I watched the day break on the east side of town
I dropped the shackles that were keeping me down
I knew the message in the meaning was true
It gave me hope and it will give it to you

Oh, honey, break away
It's a new day
It's the morning of your life
Break away - This is your day
Make it count, make it right, break away, break away
