Independence Day
I live here in exile
my home is not my heart
they're miles and oceans apart
so I long for the mountains
beyond the brave city wall
I pray tonight they'll fall
then sun will shine on me
send the light and let me free
I'll be off and on my way
on my independence day
and all the songs I could not sing
and all the words I would not say
I'll be shouting everything
on my independence day
everyday I dream of leaving
and now I put up a fight
and in the morning I might
cannot wait for an answer
for you to tell me it's alright
it's time to save my only life
then the sun will shine on me
send the light and let me free
I'll be off and on my way
on my independence day
and all the songs I could not sing
and all the words I would not say
I'll be shouting everything
on my independence day
I can feel my trouble disappear
anywhere the road will lead
if it takes me far away from here
then the sun will shine on me
send the light and let me free
I'll be off and on my way
on my independence day
and all the songs I could not sing
and all the words I would not say
I'll be shouting everything
on my independence day
my home is not my heart
they're miles and oceans apart
so I long for the mountains
beyond the brave city wall
I pray tonight they'll fall
then sun will shine on me
send the light and let me free
I'll be off and on my way
on my independence day
and all the songs I could not sing
and all the words I would not say
I'll be shouting everything
on my independence day
everyday I dream of leaving
and now I put up a fight
and in the morning I might
cannot wait for an answer
for you to tell me it's alright
it's time to save my only life
then the sun will shine on me
send the light and let me free
I'll be off and on my way
on my independence day
and all the songs I could not sing
and all the words I would not say
I'll be shouting everything
on my independence day
I can feel my trouble disappear
anywhere the road will lead
if it takes me far away from here
then the sun will shine on me
send the light and let me free
I'll be off and on my way
on my independence day
and all the songs I could not sing
and all the words I would not say
I'll be shouting everything
on my independence day
