Troy:
We're soarin'
Flyin'
There's not a star in heaven that we can't reach

Gabriella:
If we're trying
So were 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 seperate 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:
If we're trying

Both:
Yeah, we're breaking free

Troy:
Oh, we're breakin' free

Gabriella:
Ohhh

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, Ooohhh

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

Troy: Were breakin free

Chorus #2

Gabriella:
We're soarin'

Troy:
Flyin'

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

Troy:
If we're tryin'

Both:
Yeah we're breaking free

Troy:
ohhh were breakin free

Gabriella:
Ohhhh, Runnin'

Troy:
Climbin'

Troy:
To get to that place

Both:
To be all that we can be

Troy:
Now's the time

Both:
So were breaking free

Troy:
We're 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
(Without music)

Chorus #3
Gabriella:
Soarin'

Troy:
Flyin'

(Music)
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
We're runnin

Troy:
Ohhhh, climbin'

Both:
To get to that 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 different than who we are...

    General Comment:It is not of my habits to write close-to hate-coments, but I am sincerely disgusted! This is sick.

    I have nothing against the song itself, except from its unoriginality and aroma of fine-polished synthesis in everything vocal. But it is impossible to defend the amorality in the lyrics ; they sing about how being the most popular persons in school (to say basketball-star and sophomore-math genius) is not enough and how they have to be the stars in the School Musical (“Not a want, but a need”… what the hell?).
    But of course, every teen-girl falls in love with Troy; give me a break, the guy barely sings in the song.
    Yet again Disney manages to make a smashing success out of their reused plots and polished ugliness. Read between the lines, you fairies.

    To cure myself of this constant want to throw up, I intend to listen to instrumental fusion-jazz for at least two-three months, solely.

    P.S. GeorgeRuk92, just because you like a pretentious give-impression-of-being-rebel band doesn’t mean that high school musical is good. In fact, High School Musical and Slipknot are driven by the same motif: money, lots and lots of money...nice interpretation, Spray.

    General Comment:Clearly this song is about breaking out of prison, if you look at the words

    If we're trying, Yeah we're breaking free, Breaking free
    We're runnin

    It matches my theory perfectly
