[Verse 1]
Now there is this day, a lot of things are changing
Can't just kick it away, got to get things right
Sometimes, it happens fast, and nothin' seems to last
The thing that I once started isn't mine anymore
I guess now it's my turn

[Verse 2]
You've got a face like a child
Got a mind like a woman
Your smile is warm and tender
I hear the people say
That I should stay away
From you and all the problems you might bring

[Pre-Chorus]
They'll never know—you
Nobody ever knows what to do
They'll never see you cry
They'll never know why

[Chorus]
Now it's your turn to break free
When you want it all, you've got to see
Now it's your turn to break free
Don't you know? When you want the life
You've got to see what it means
[Verse 3]
See the little boy holding Mama's hand
His eyes can see the things we've long forgotten
The world is easy now—and somehow
He's right until there is this day
When Mickey Mouse must go away

[Chorus]
It's your turn to break free
When you want it all, you've got to see
Now it's your turn to break free
Don't you know? When you want the life
You've got to see what it means

[Solo: Michael / Both]

[Bridge]
This world is crying to be free
This world is dying, can't you see?
We need a turn to do it right
We need a mind-revolution
To get away from this selfishness
Stop playing blind—break free

[Chorus]
Now it's your turn to break free
When you want it all, you've got to see
Now it's your turn to break free
Don't you know? When you want the life
You've got to see what it means
