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. Its time is in 4/4 time, and its tempo is about 168 beats per minute. Its length is 44 bars in 1 min 5 seconds.
This song features arranged snippets of music from previous Mario games. There is an electric guitar rendition of Bowser's theme from Super Mario 64 and the Bowser battle theme in the Cloud Kingdom halfway through the song and the 25m theme from Donkey Kong is in the variation heard during the ending cutscene.
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!

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 two 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 two 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

感情の ブロックを壊したら
臆病は 奈落の底に消えていった（逃げていった）
無理無駄と 決めつける 奴ら尻目に
箱庭*な 煌く世界で 僕ら壮大な恋をしよう
蹴り上げた この足で
２次元を跨げば
跳ねる 駆ける 回る
月を便りに（導かれて）
振り投げた 赤い軌跡が
３次元の 奇跡が
揺れる 笑う 君の
胸の ハートに靡く フラッグを掴むよ
未来への プロット 描いたら
信号は スイッチ 青へ変わっていった（走り出した）
くどくどと垂れ流す 小言塞いでさ
晴れ間覗く 輝く世界へ 僕ら壮大な虹架けよう
擦り減った この靴で
地平線 越えれば
跳ねる 翔る 回る
風を便りに（導かれて）
錆びだらけこの船で
水平線 越えれば
姿 形 今も
浮かぶ 君の心 ゴールを目指すよ
のこのこと現れた僕らのチャンスが
箱庭な 煌く世界で より一層の光を放つ
クシャクシャの その切符を
今こそ取り出してよ
「僕ら×夢」の
答え 出す旅（導かれて）
振りかざせ その腕を
空高く突き上げろ
壊せ 越えろ 叫べ
今夜僕ら希望 めがけて「Break Free!」	
Kanjo no burokku o kowashitara 
Okubyo wa naraku no soko ni kieteitta (kieteitta) 
Muri muda to kimetsukeru yatsura shirime ni 
Hakoniwa na kirameku sekai de 
Boku ra sodai na koi o shiyou 
Keri ageta kono ashi de nijigen o matageba 
Haneru kakeru mawaru tsuki o tayori ni (michibikarete) 
Tsumi ageta taiseki ga sanjigen no kiseki ga 
Yureru warau kimi no mune no hāto ni nabiku 
Furaggu o tsukamu yo 
Mirai e no purotto egaitara 
Shingo wa suicchi ao e kawatteitta (hashiri dashita) 
Kudokudo to tare nagasu kogoto fusaide sa 
Harema nozoku kagayaku sekai e 
Boku ra sodai na niji kakeyou 
Suri hetta kono kutsu de chiheisen koereba 
Haneru kakeru mawaru kaze o tayori ni (michibikarete) 
Sabi darake kono fune de suiheisen koereba 
Sugata katachi ima mo ukabu kimi no kokoro 
Gōru o mezasu yo 
Nokonoko to arawareta bokura no chansu ga 
Hakoniwa na kirameku sekai de yori isso no hikari hanatsu 
Kushakusha no sono kippu wo imakoso toridashiteyo 
Boku ra kakeru yume no kotae dasu tabi (michibikarete) 
Hurikazase sono ude wo sora takaku tsukiagero 
Kowase koero sakebe konya boku ra kibo megakete Break Free!	
I broke the blocks of emotion and
cowardice disappeared away into abyss (disappeared away).
Looking scornfully at the people who judge blindly "it's impossible," "it's futile,"
let us fall in a spectacular love in a world miniature gardens shine.
Striding over the two-dimensional with this foot kicked up,
I bounce, dash and revolve, trusting in the moon (guided).
The volume heaped up, the miracle of the three-dimensional
seizes the flag flattering on the heart of the chest of you that rock and smile.
I drew the plot to the future and
the traffic light switched into blue (begun to run).
Block the scolding being verbosely discharged and
let us make a bridge of spectacular rainbow to the glittering world where fair sky peeks.
Going over the horizon with these worn-thin shoes
I bounce, dash and revolve, trusting in the wind (guided).
Going over the horizon with this rusted ship
the heart of you, whose figure still comes to my mind.
I take aim to the goal.
Nonchalantly appeared our chance
casts more light in the world miniature gardens shine.
Now it's time, pull out that screwed up ticket
to answer the dream on which we run (guided).
Brandish your arm, thrust it up high into the sky.
Break! Go beyond! Shout! Tonight we aim for desire, Break Free!
