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
