Patrice Rushen
Breakout!
[Verse I]
Read the paper and watch the news
Now you got the blues
But you can't let it get to you
You just got to move

[Chorus]
It's easy to set yourself free
Breakout! Breakout! Come on!
Be you - the best you can be
Breakout! Breakout! Come on!

[Verse II]
Now I know that times are rough
You can be a slave
To the problems of the world
Who do you save?

[Chorus]
It's easy to set yourself free
Breakout! Breakout! Come on!
Be you - the best you can be
Breakout! Breakout! Come on!

[Bridge]
If you're down
If you're down so low
Breakout! Breakout! Come on!
[Verse III]
Someone's gotta start somewhere
Love yourself and go from there
When the world is gettin' to you
Only one thing you can do
Breakout!
