1st verse
Something's stirring in the dead of night
The sound of people in motion
Someone's crying "it'll be alright"
We're gonna break free tonight

2nd verse
My heart's beating to the sounds of a drum
Is it real or just an illusion
The word is freedom and it's all around
We're gonna break free tonight

Chorus
Ten long years I have done my time, living in this cell
Now I hear these voices cry: "it's time to leave this hell"
C'mon and sing it now
Hey boys, sing it out loud, sing it out loud tonight
Hey boys, sing it out loud, we're gonna break free tonight

3rd verse
Should I laugh or should I cry
I've lost control of my feelings
Mixed emotions running high
We're gonna break free tonight

4th verse
Now I'm wondering will I find
The love I left behind me
Lord it's been such a long, long time
I wonder if she's still mine

Chorus
Ten long years of wasted time, praying for this day
Now these sad thoughts in my mind, slowly drift away
C'mon and sing it now
Hey boys, sing it out loud, sing it out loud tonight
Hey boys, sing it out loud, we're gonna break free tonight
...
.. and everything's gonna be fine
.. we're gonna break free tonight
