Independence Day
I was born at 5 AM
The fireworks were still goin off
Independence was just a day
When the war was really lost
When their arms were bruised and open
They held me close to their chest
I knew then their hearts were broken
Still I think they did their best
And I'm movin on
And I'm movin on
Well I was taught how to survive
By a woman who did the same
And I was caught inside a web
By a man who gave me his name
A missionary who testified
Against himself then ran to hide
Secrets I carried, the things I saw
Were always buried but stayed alive
And I'm movin on
And I'm movin on
All these years I walked along
Your revival couldn't be your own
All my fears left my arrival
So far from a promised home
And I'm movin on
Yeah I'm movin on
I was born at 5 AM
The fireworks were still goin' off
Independence was just a day
When the war was really lost
And their arms were bruised and open
They held me close to their chest
I knew then their hearts were broken
Still I think they did their best
The fireworks were still goin off
Independence was just a day
When the war was really lost
When their arms were bruised and open
They held me close to their chest
I knew then their hearts were broken
Still I think they did their best
And I'm movin on
And I'm movin on
Well I was taught how to survive
By a woman who did the same
And I was caught inside a web
By a man who gave me his name
A missionary who testified
Against himself then ran to hide
Secrets I carried, the things I saw
Were always buried but stayed alive
And I'm movin on
And I'm movin on
All these years I walked along
Your revival couldn't be your own
All my fears left my arrival
So far from a promised home
And I'm movin on
Yeah I'm movin on
I was born at 5 AM
The fireworks were still goin' off
Independence was just a day
When the war was really lost
And their arms were bruised and open
They held me close to their chest
I knew then their hearts were broken
Still I think they did their best
