Cannonball

Lea Michele breaks away from starring on Glee to dive into pop music with this first single off her debut album, Louder – out in March 2014. This inspiring jam was written by none other than Sia and Benny Blanco, while StarGate produced the track. The song was written to help Lea cope with the hard aftermath following her boyfriend Cory Monteith’s death. Lea said about the song: “The minute I heard this song, I had a physical reaction to it. For me, it’s been my strength. I listen to it every day. I know it was brought into my life for a reason. It’s really been so helpful for me and I hope it’s the same for other people as it’s been for me.”

[Intro] Break down Break down [Verse 1] I was scared to death, I was losing my mind (Break down) I couldn't close my eyes, I was pacing all night (But now) I think I found the light at the end of the tunnel (I had my doubts) I couldn't find the truth, I was going under [Pre-Chorus] But I won't hide inside I gotta get out, gotta get out, gotta get out, gotta get out Lonely inside and light the fuse Light it now, light it now, light it now [Chorus] And now I will start living today, today, today I close the door I got this new beginning and I will fly I'll fly like a cannonball Like a cannonball Like a cannonball I'll fly, I'll fly, I'll fly like a cannonball [Verse 2] Freedom I let go of fear and the peace came quickly Freedom I was in the dark and then it hit me I chose suffering and pain, I live for the rain I know, I gotta get out into the world again [Pre-Chorus] But I won't hide inside I gotta get out, gotta get out, gotta get out, gotta get out Lonely inside and light the fuse Light it now, light it now, light it now [Chorus] And now I will start living today, today, today I close the door I got this new beginning and I will fly I'll fly like a cannonball Like a cannonball Like a cannonball I'll fly, I'll fly, I'll fly like a cannonball [Bridge] (Break down) I was scared to death I was, losing my mind (Break down) I gotta get out into the world again [Chorus] And now I will start living today, today, today I close the door I got this new beginning and I will fly I'll fly like a cannonball Like a cannonball Like a cannonball I'll fly, I'll fly, I'll fly like a cannonball [Outro] Like a cannonball Like a cannonball I'll fly, I'll fly, I'll fly like a cannonball
