BREAKAWAY (THE PRINCESS DIARIES 2: ROYAL ENGAGEMENT, 2004)

In this sequel to one of the most successful (and charming) Disney-produced movies, The Princess Diaries, Mia Thermopolis (a delightful turn by Anne Hathaway), had to contend of not only ruling Genovia someday but had to marry someone she loves within thirty days in order to rightfully claim the title Queen. The problem is, who among the handsome guys her heart beats truthfully? Kelly Clarkson of American Idol fame sang the theme Breakaway in The Princess Diaries 2: Wedding Engagement.

BREAKAWAY

sung by: Kelly Clarkson

Grew up in a small town

And when the rain would fall down

I just stared out my window

Dreaming of a could-be

And if I’d end up happy

I would pray (I would pray)

Trying not to reach out

But when I’d try to speak out

Felt like no one could hear me

Wanted to belong here

But something felt so wrong here

So I pray (I would pray)

I could breakaway

I’ll spread my wings and I’ll learn how to fly

I’ll do what it takes ‘til I touch the sky

I’ll make a wish

Take a chance

Make a change

And breakaway

Out of the darkness and into the sun

But I won’t forget all the ones that I loved

I’ll take a risk

Take a chance

Make a change

And breakaway

Wanna feel the warm breeze

Sleep under a palm tree

Feel the rush of the ocean

Get onboard a fast train

Travel on a jet plane, far away (I will)

And breakaway

I’ll spread my wings and I’ll learn how to fly

I’ll do what it takes ‘til I touch the sky

I’ll make a wish

Take a chance

Make a change

And breakaway

Out of the darkness and into the sun

But I won’t forget all the ones that I loved

I’ll take a risk

Take a chance

Make a change

And breakaway

Buildings with a hundred floors

Swinging in revolving doors

Maybe I don’t know where they’ll take me but

Gotta keep moving on, moving on

Fly away, breakaway

I’ll spread my wings

And I’ll learn how to fly

Though it’s not easy to tell you goodbye

I gotta take a risk

Take chance

Make a change

And breakaway

Out of the darkness and into the sun

But I won’t forget the place I come from

I gotta take a risk

Take a chance

Make a change

And breakaway, breakaway, breakaway
