End the session by singing the song “Breakaway”y Kelly Clarkson

Breakaway
By: Kelly Clarkson

Grew up in a small town

And when the rain would fall down
I'd just stare out my window
Dreamin' of what could be
And if I'd end up happy
I would pray

Trying hard to reach out

But when I tried to speak out
Felt like no one could hear me
Wanted to belong here
But something felt so wrong here
So I pray
I could breakaway

I'll spread my wings, and I'll learn how to fly

I'll do what it takes till I touch the sky
And 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 love
I'll take a risk
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway

Want to feel the warm breeze

Sleep under a palm tree
Feel the rush of the ocean
Get on board a fast train
Travel on a jet plane
Faraway
And breakaway
I'll sprea my wings, and I'll learn how to fly
I'll do what it takes till I touch the sky
And I'll make a wish, take a chance, make a
change
And breakaway
Out of the darkness and into the sun
I won't forget all the ones that I love
I gotta take a risk, take a chance, make a
change
And breakaway

Buildings with a hundred floors

Swinging 'round revolvin' doors
Maybe I don't know where they take me
But gotta keep movin' on
 Movin' 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 a 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
