I can feel a north wind blowing 

And I know something's going down tonight 

The chains that bind are getting restless 

The albatross is getting tight 

There are those that feel I've waited too long 

I should have gotten out by now 

I hear the echoes of the shadows of the night 

They say this ship is going down 





But the church bells chime 

And it's right now 

It's right on time 





Cause I'm breaking away 

All I will say is I'm not going down today 

I'm breaking away 

I will leave this place and find a better day 





And now the weight is sinking 

With the bird the bottom of the sea 

And now I can finally say 

"The black sheep is no longer me" 

and I never fit in your plan 

So you left me far behind 

But you never really knew me 

Cause you never really took the time 



And the church bells chime 

And it's right now 

And right now's my time 





Cause I'm breaking away 

All I will say is I'm not going down today 

I'm breaking away 

I will leave this place and find a better day
