VERSE 1
If you won’t let me speak my mind
If you don’t give some freedom then you’ll find…
I’ll be on my way, start life anew
What’s an independent-minded girl to do?
And if you don’t grant me leeway here
There’ll be another civil war, I fear
And the flag I’ll raise to end your reign
Will fly in the face of all your words of pain
Won’t let you put me down
Or knock me round again
CHORUS
Independence Day
Will come my way
And I’ll be free to be myself
Independence Day
Will come to stay
And you’ll be left with no one else
There'll be no one else
VERSE 2
I’ve sat around and taken blows
I’ve let you beat me. Why? Well Heaven knows
Maybe I’ve been weak for loving you
But I’m stronger now; you’ll find your hold is through
You can’t silence me
My words will shout the truth
CHORUS
MIDDLE EIGHT
And the man who was king
He's left there, oh, without a thing, no one to rule
And I loved that fool…
CHORUSES TO END (Changed to present tense)
Independence Day
Has come my way
And I am free to be myself
Independence Day
Has come to stay
And you are left with no one else
