High School Musical – Breaking Free lyrics
Troy:
We're soarin', flying
There's not a star in heaven
That we can't reach


Gabriella:
If we're trying
So we're breaking free

Troy:
You know the world can see us
In a way that's different than who we are


Gabriella:
Creating space between us
'Till we're separate hearts


Both:
But your faith it gives me strength
Strength to believe

Chorus #1
Troy:
We're breakin' free

Gabriella:
We're soarin'

Troy
:
Flyin'

Both:
There's not a star in heaven
That we can't reach


Troy:
We're trying

Both:
Yeah, we're breaking free

Troy:
Oh, we're breakin' free

Gabriella:
Ohhhh

Troy:
Can you feel it building
Like a wave the ocean just can't control

Gabriella
:
Connected by a feeling
Ohhh, in our very souls

Troy
:
Very souls,
Ooooh,

Both:
Rising 'till it lifts us up
So every one can see

Troy
:
We're breakin' free

Gabriella
:
We're soarin'

Troy: Flyin'

Both:
There's not a star in heaven
That we can't reach

Troy
:
If we're trying
Yeah we're breaking free

Gabriella:
Ohhhh runnin'

Troy:
Climbin'
To get to that place

Both:
To be all that we can be

Troy:
Now's
the time

Both:
So breaking free

Troy:
So breaking free

Gabriella:
Ohhh, yeah

Troy:
More than hope
More than faith

Gabriella:
This is true
This is fate
And together

Both:
We see it comin'

Troy:
More than you
More than me

Gabriella:
Not a want, but a need

Both:
Both
of us breakin' free

Gabriella:
Soarin'

Troy:
Flyin'

Both:
There's not a star in heaven
That we can't reach
If we're trying

Troy:
Yeah we're
breaking free

Gabriella:
Breaking free
Were runnin'

Troy:
Ohhhh, climbin'

Both:
To get to the place
To be all that we can be
Now's the time

Troy:
Now's the time

Gabriella:
So we're breaking free

Troy: Ohhh, we're breaking free

Gabriella: Ohhhh

Both:
You know the world can see us
In a way that's different than who we are

    I sang this with my best friend when I was little. (yes, he was a boy.) he sang troy and I sang gabriella. Though, one day came when he fell off of a zipline at his camp. I'm not sure how high it was but, now he's in a coma and I'm not sure when he will come out. Though, I keep this song dear to my heart. It reminds me of one of out best memories to me.

    This is such a meaningful song. It reminds me of my boyfriend. He had danced to this music before. When I hear this song, it reminds me of him. It is our song. Although his is going to other countries, his heart will always be with me. Hope that I can meet him as soon as possible. This song will always be in my heart as I think of him. I would want to play this song during our wedding. Looking forward to his arrival at the airport. This song really means a lot to me.

    To put it simply, this song is very meaningful to everyone who has watched "HSM" at least once in their entire lives or at least heard the song. It might strike a bell of childhood memories or simply have a special place in your heart along with that special someone you have. To me, the words itself are a masterpiece. I used to think they were over-exaggerating when I was smaller, but now I know the words can have a great impact to your confidence. The message in this song: break free from whatever's holding you down. Worries, responsibilities, bullies, anything. Soar into the heavens without a care, because those things cannot burden you any longer. Have fun why you still have the chance and I know it sounds cheesy, but it's true. Have fun, and have a nice day.

    The song represents a strange period of my life, a very important period. My first period in fact. This song was the song playing in the background as my mum told me about periods, well actually it wasn't my mum but a random homeless women who happened to be living at my house at the time.

    This song means so much to me. It's like telling to break free from your worries. Or telling me to break free to see new opportunities. High School Musical made my childhood days. It was what kept me going even when our family is almost torn to pieces. I can tell that this is one of my most favorite songs when I was a kid. It would always make me smile knowing that even if you break free, you still have people watching over you and it's just comforting for me since I can say I'm practically alone here.

    I love this song so much. It is so meaningful and brings back so many memories from my childhood. The High School Musical series is just awesome. Although the first one isn't my favorite, I still love it. We're Breaking Free is one of my favorite songs from this movie. Especially since it was at the end. Plus the fact that is was preformed by Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens. This song expresses the feelings of Troy and Gabriella despite their different intrests. I also love how they creatively and cleverly found a way to get to Call Backs. And they were able to get the basketball team and the academics decathlon team to be there and support them. Before you start saying well it wasn't real. I know that. The producers, actors, writers, crew and everyone that worked on the High School Musical series did an awesome job in my opinion.

    We have to spread our wings in order to fulfill our dreams.
    Reach for our dreams!
    Think breaking free is all about breaking free from society's limitations, and being all that you can be. Troy and gabriella have separate worlds- gabriella is a geek and troy is a sports guy- but their worlds collide through the music and beauty of the song. They just want to be together, break free from everyone else and soar.
    Being free to be the real you inside without fear of judgment.
    Just be who you are and don't think of what will others say.

    This song just means so much to me. My boyfriend sang it to me and I just cry everytime I hear it. We're gonna have it played at our wedding and it's also our "song" ;) if you know what I mean. It's such a deep, meaningful song that I love so much. I can put my hand on my heart and say that it is my favourite song. It also reminds me of lady bird johnson as well as she is as beautiful as this song.

    I think that this song is representing the specific story line of the movie, troy and Gabriella are in deep relationship goals and they wish to complete their life dreams. The rhythm of the song indicates love and sex which emphasis the common themes that link the series together. Furthermore Troy is hotter than the d*ckface man called Ryan and the song breaking free, shows that Troy has feelings towards Gabriella and isn't happy to be alone. Thus concludes the song with the tragic sentence, quote "ohhh" that emphasis the mood swings.

    This song means so much to me. Me and my boyfriend used to sing this song so much. I love this song because it reminds me of my boyfriend. Sadly our families don't like each other, and we are not allowed to get married. So I pretended to kill myself so I could run off with him. But he saw me dead and was sad and killed himself. I know hes smiling on me in heaven.
