Verse 1
People running everywhere,
They ain't got time to share
Their innermost feelings about life.
There's got to be a way
To break those chains of formality.
It's not the way for me.

Chorus 1
You've gotta break a---way,
From the Systematic set-up they call "life."
They don't even know what it's like to live for something real.
They just keep going on their way,
Saying exactly what they're supposed to say.
It's time they know what it's like to feel.

Verse 2
There's a trying of our souls,
Weighing the cons and pros,
If life is just to breathe the way they do.
There's an alternative,
It's called learning how to give
Instead of gain.
Why can't love reign?

Chorus 2
You've gotta break a---way,
From the Systematic set-up they call "life."
They don't even know what it's like to live for something real.
They just keep going on their way,
Saying exactly what they're supposed to say.
It's time they know what it's like to feel.

Verse 3
People walking in slow-mo,
They've stopped to watch hate's snow
Melt as the heat of loving burns.
Cold cities and their cares,
Everything they thought was fair,
It's all been changed,
Totally rearranged.

Chorus 3
Let's break a---way,
From the Systematic set-up they call "life."
We all know what it's like to live each day
For something real.
If we keep giving every day,
We'll say what Heaven wants to say,
And through God's touch this world will heal.

Yeah-a-yeah-a-yeah

Ending
Let's break away.
Say what Heaven wants to say.

Yeah-a hey, yeah-a hey, yeah-a hey, hey, hey,
Hey, hey, hey, yeah-eh-eh-e-yeah,
Yeah-eh-eh-e-yeah,
Yeah-eh-eh-e-yeah,
Yeah-eh-eh-eh yeah
