  • You're holding out your hand
    Are you falling
    You're talking to yourself
    Nobody's there
    There's a burning in your heart
    Like a hunger
    There's something on your mind
    Nobody cares

    When you feel that life is dragging you down
    Day by day
    You've gotta break away

    You're taking on the world
    Taking on the world
    And I swear they'll never break you
    Taking on the world

    Precious time
    Do we know what we're fighting for
    Taking time
    So we don't make the same mistakes again
    Take a look on the other side
    Look at what we will leave behind

    When you feel that life is dragging you down
    Day by day
    We've gotta break way

    Taking on the world
    Taking on the world
    And I swear they'll never break me
    Taking on the world
    Taking on the world
    And I swear they'll never break me
    Taking on the world
    Taking on the world

    It???s easy to do
    Put your trust in me
    And out of the blue
    We???re breaking away

    What's love is it wild sorrow
    Brave face
    Is your heart breaking
    Who cares when you
    Cry freedom?
    It's the right place for the
    Right reasons

    Taking on the world
    Taking on the world
    (And I swear they'll never take me)
    Taking on the world
    Taking on the world
    (And I swear they'll never break me)
    Taking on the world
    (They'll never take me)
    Taking on the world
    (They'll never change me)

    Taking on the world
    Taking on the world
    Taking on the world
