Imani Coppola Independence Day lyrics

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

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


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

I can feel 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 set me free
I'll be off and on my way
On my Independence Day

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

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
