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
