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 grey city walls i pray tonight they'll fall
chorus: then the sun will shine on me send the light and set me free i'll be off and on my way on my Independence Day all the songs i could not sing and all the words i could not say i'll be shouting everything on my Independence Day
every day i dream of leaving cause there's no end in sight i got to shine my own light just can't wait any longer for you to make it alright it's time to live my own life
chorus repeat
i can feel trouble disappear anywhere the road will lead if it takes me far away from here
