Lyrics
He's just a young boy out of school
Introducing a young boy who's recently finished school
Livin' his world like he wants to
Living life on his own terms
They're makin' laws, but they don't understand
Government or authority figures create laws, but they fail to comprehend
Turns a boy in to a fightin' man
These regulations transform a boy into a resilient, ready-for-battle man
They won't take me
Refusal to submit or be controlled
They won't break me
Determination not to be weakened or subdued
No one could tell him what to do
The boy was independent, learning things without guidance
Had to learn everything the hard way
Life lessons were learned through tough experiences
He's on the street, breakin' all the rules
He's in rebellion, breaking societal norms
I'm tellin' you that he's nobody's fool
Asserting that he's not naïve or easily manipulated
They won't take me
Reiteration of resistance to control
They won't break me
Continued determination not to be weakened or subdued
Now he's leavin', gettin' out from this masquerade
Now leaving behind a false or deceptive situation
Oh gotta go
Expressing the urgency to depart
I'm finally out in the clear and I'm free
Feeling liberated and unrestricted, pursuing aspirations
I've got dreams I'm livin' for
Determined to chase dreams
I'm movin' on where they'll never find me
Moving on to a place where he won't be found
Rollin' on to anywhere
Traveling anywhere, breaking free from limitations
I'll break away, yes I'm on my way
Acknowledging the decision to depart and be independent
Leavin' today, yes I'm on my way
Emphasizing the immediate departure
Just when you think you had it all figured out
Life's unpredictability challenges previous certainties
Runnin' scared can change your mind
Fear-induced decisions can alter one's perspective
I never knew I had so much to give
Realizing one's potential to contribute more than expected
How hard times can fool ya
Difficult situations can deceive one's judgment
Oh I'm okay, I'm alright
Assurance of personal well-being despite challenges
Feelin' good out on your own
Feeling positive about being independent
I'll break away, I'll break away tonight
Determination to break free tonight
I've got dreams I'm livin' for
Reiteration of aspirations driving his actions
I'll break away
Commitment to breaking away
Yes, I'm on my way
Reaffirmation of the immediate departure
I'm leaving', leavin' today
Departing today, emphasizing the immediacy
Yes, I'm on my way
Reiteration of the determination to leave
This is my escape
Embracing the departure as his means of escape
Yes, I'm on my way
Expressing the ongoing journey to freedom
I'll break away
Reinforcing the commitment to break free
Yes, I'm on my way
Restating the determination to depart
