Break Free (Lead the Way)

Break Free (Lead the Way) (titled Honeylune Ridge: Escape in the Music List) is a song in Super Mario Odyssey. It is the second song with lyrics and plays in the last section of the escape sequence at the end of the game's story, as well as the ending cutscene. A version with Japanese vocals also exists, and an 8-bit version (without vocals) can be unlocked in the Music List after fulfilling at least two of Music Toad's requests.

The song also features arranged snippets of music from previous Mario games: halfway through the song, an electric guitar rendition of Bowser's theme from Super Mario 64 and the Bowser battle theme in the Cloud Kingdom can be heard, and the 25m theme from Donkey Kong can be heard in the variation heard during the ending cutscene and in the full version available on iTunes.

It is performed by The Super Mario Players and it is sung by Kate Higgins (credited as Kate Davis) in English and Aimi Mukohara in Japanese, while being composed by Naoto Kubo, just like Jump Up, Super Star!

Lyrics

NOTE: The following lyrics are for the full iTunes versions of the song. In the in-game Music List version, the song ends at the fourth to last verse (third to last for the Japanese version) before looping back to the beginning.

English

Smash through the blocks that bar your way
No time for fear just let it all fall away (all fall away)

Nobody believes in me and you, just look at the way they stare
So what if we live in a walled garden, as long as I've got you then I don't care

Kick off the wall and take the plunge
Tripping through 2 dimensions
Up on the moon we'll twirl and swoon
Just lead the way (and I'll follow you)

I'll throw my hat in the ring, 'cause you're the one
A miracle in three dimensions
Follow the brick path straight to my heart
And we'll grab the flag together the fireworks are gonna start

Shake off the chains, you're running free
You'll be amazed at all that there is to see (there is to see)

Together we're racing for the goal, and no one can stop us now
Maybe we don't know where we're going, but we're gonna get there somehow

Climb up the vine and land in the clouds
Maybe then we'll swap up for down
'cross the sea we're still you and me
I'll follow you (Just lead the way)

You've got me over the moon, and that's no jest
We're miles above the rest
Look in your eyes and I know we'll be fine
So let's shoot for the stars and make this love really shine

Nobody believes in me and you, just look at the way they stare
So what if we live in a walled garden, as long as I've got you then I don't care

Kick off the wall and take the plunge
Tripping through 2 dimensions
Up on the moon we'll twirl and swoon
Just lead the way (and I'll follow you)

I'll throw my hat in the ring, 'cause you're the one
A miracle in three dimensions
Follow the brick path straight to my heart
And we'll grab the flag together the fireworks are gonna start
