Lyrics

[Verse 1]
All my life, I wanted to fly
Like the birds that you see way up in the sky
Making circles in the morning sun
Flying high in the sky till the day is done
(I can't break away)
[Verse 2]
Like a child in his fantasy
Punching holes in the walls of reality
All my life, I wanted to fly
But I don't have the wings and I wonder why
(I can't break away)
(I can't break away)
[Verse 3]
Whoa, well, Mama told me when I was young
"Stand tall, girl, you're number one"
(She said) "You can be what you want to be
But you can't change the course of your destiny"
[Verse 4]
I can't break away
(Ah-min-nah, do-ki-do, ah-mah-neh-la)
No, no, no, no, no, I can't break away
(Ah-min-nah, do-ki-do, ah-mah-neh-la)
Oh, yeah, I said, I said, ooh, ooh
[Verse 5]
One is one (One!) and two is two (Two!)
You are me and I am you
Black is black and white is white
So come down in the middle 'tween day and night
[Verse 6]
I can't break away
(Ah-min-nah, do-ki-do, ah-mah-neh-la)
No, no, no, no, no, I can't break away
(Ah-min-nah, do-ki-do, ah-mah-neh-la)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, hey, hey
[Verse 7]
Well, Mama told me when I was young
"Stand tall, girl, you're number one"
(She said) "You can be what you want to be
But you can't change the course of your destiny"
[Verse 8]
I can't break away
(Ah-min-nah, do-ki-do, ah-mah-neh-la)
No, no, no, no, no, I can't break away
(Ah-min-nah, do-ki-do, ah-mah-neh-la)
[Verse 9]
And I can't, I can't, I can't break away
(Ah-min-nah, do-ki-do, ah-mah-neh-la
No, no, no, no, no, I can't break away
(Ah-min-nah, do-ki-do, ah-mah-neh-la)
Ooh, I can't break away
