Lyrics
Intro
God never gave you a spirit of fear
But of love and of power and of a sound mind
You see the devil wants you to feel like you are trapped
The devil wants you to feel as if God has forgotten about you
And believe all the lies he told you about yourself
But whom the Lord set free
Is free indeed
Verse 1
Today, I prophesy this over someone's life
You are coming out
God is breaking you away
You've been trapped for a long time
In places the enemy had you bound
You've been in places they told you
You could never be free
You've been praying
You've been fighting for so long
Now God is sending you this message
He says it's your time to be set free
You are not forgotten, you are not alone
God has heard you, it's your time now
Chorus
Chorus
He said, my child, you're breaking away
You're breaking away
From hurt, from depression
From poverty, from sickness and death
You're breaking away
My child, wake up
He, you're breaking away
I said, you're breaking away
Verse 2
Verse 2
You've been carrying weight
That was never yours to hold
You've been walking through days
Feeling tied in your soul
It felt like the night would never let go
But God was right there even when you didn't know
But trying to keep you bound is losing its hold
And everything you've been through is making you whole
You are not forgotten, you are not alone
God has heard you, it's your time now
Chorus (Repeat)
He said, my child, my child, you're breaking away
From hurt, from depression
From poverty, from sickness and death
You're breaking away
My child, wake up, wake up
You're breaking away
I said, you're breaking away

Bridge
Every chain is breaking
Every door is opening
What held you yesterday
Cannot hold you now
God is calling you forward
Out of that place
This is your moment
Step into grace
Breaking away
Breaking away
Breaking away
Breaking away

No more chains, no more bondage

He said, my child, you're breaking away
You're breaking away
From hurt, from depression
From poverty, from sickness and death
You're breaking away
My child, wake up, wake up
You're breaking away
I said, you're breaking away
It's your time, you're breaking
You're breaking away
You're breaking away

Meaning & Inspiration
“Breaking Away” by Delana Hope is part song and part spoken word of encouragement. It opens by quoting 2 Timothy 1:7, that God has not given a spirit of fear but of love, power and a sound mind, and says the enemy wants people to feel trapped and forgotten. It then quotes the idea that those whom the Lord sets free are free indeed.
The speaker says she prophesies over a listener who has been bound for a long time, praying and fighting. The message is that God has heard, the listener is not forgotten or alone, and it is time to break away from hurt, depression, poverty and sickness. The second verse says God was present in the night even when the listener did not know it.
The bridge says every chain is breaking and every door is opening, and invites the listener to step into grace. The ideas are close to John 8:36, Psalm 107:14 and Isaiah 61:1. The tone is urgent, hopeful and made to be said aloud.
