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
