[Intro]
Break down
Break down
Break down

[Verse 1]
I was scared to death, I was losing my mind (Break down)
I couldn’t close my eyes, I was pacing all night (But now)
I think I found the light at the end of the tunnel (I had my doubts)
I couldn’t find the truth, I was going under

[Pre-Chorus]
But I won’t hide inside
I gotta get out, gotta get out, gotta get out, gotta get out
Lonely inside and light the fuse
Light it now, light it now, light it now

[Chorus]
And now I will start living today, today, today
I close the door
I got this new beginning and I will fly
I’ll fly like a cannonball
Like a cannonball
Like a cannonball
I’ll fly, I’ll fly, I’ll fly like a cannonball

[Verse 2]
Freedom
I let go of fear and the peace came quickly
Freedom
I was in the dark and then it hit me
I chose suffering and pain and I live for the rain
I know, I gotta get out into the world again

[Pre-Chorus]
But I won’t hide inside
I gotta get out, gotta get out, gotta get out, gotta get out
Lonely inside and light the fuse
Light it now, light it now, light it now

[Chorus]
And now I will start living today, today, today
I close the door
I got this new beginning and I will fly
I’ll fly like a cannonball
Like a cannonball
Like a cannonball
I’ll fly, I’ll fly, I’ll fly like a cannonball

[Bridge]
(Break down)
I was scared to death I was, losing my mind
(Break down)
I gotta get out into the world again

[Chorus]
And now I will start living today, today, today
I close the door
I got this new beginning and I will fly
I’ll fly like a cannonball
Like a cannonball
Like a cannonball
I’ll fly, I’ll fly, I’ll fly like a cannonball

[Outro]
Like a cannonball
Like a cannonball
I’ll fly, I’ll fly, I’ll fly like a cannonball
