Imani Coppola - Independence Day lyrics

rate me

I live here in exile, my home is not my home.

They're miles and oceans apart.

So I long for mountains, beyond the gray city walls,

I pray tonight they'll fall.

^ Then the Son 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.

Everyday I dream of leaving,

Because there's no end in sight.

Got to shine my own light.

This can't wait any longer

For you to make it all right

It's time to live my own life

^

I can feel my trouble disappear.

Anywhere the road will lead

If it takes me far away from here.

^
