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]
I can feel trouble disappear
Anywhere the road will lead
If it takes me far away from here
[Chorus: x 3]
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]
I can feel trouble disappear
Anywhere the road will lead
If it takes me far away from here
[Chorus: x 3]
