It's Independence Day I'm free
And it's a strange place to be
I'm gonna break these chains
Unleash the changes in me

I see an endless road
I feel the restless wind
I've lost the fear inside
Cause I've got no choice
But to live or die

Suddenly you're in this fight
alone
Steppin' out into the great
unknown
And the night's the hardest
time
When the doubts run through
your min
Cause suddenly you find your
self alone
Suddenly you find yourself

In an empty room
With a suitcase on the floor
It'll be daylight soon
I'm gonna wage my private
war

Who's watchin' over me
Must be a guardian angel
I just need time to breathe
And give my life
The best of me

Chorus

Suddenly you're in this fight
Steppin' out and then

Chorus

Suddenly you're in this fight
alone
Steppin' out into the great
unknown
And the night's the hardest
time
When the doubts run through
your min
Cause suddenly you find your
self alone
Suddenly you find yourself

It's a long wait at the gate
just to glimpse your fate
just to see whether it all works out
It's a long road, a heavy load
You gotta really want to go
and just let the others walk around
you now

up and down again
but this time it's different
it took some waiting to straighten
out the bend
In and out of luck
yeah at times it was difficult
I got a new life baby, It takes some getting used to but...

Chorus:
No sign of any rain
My skies are clear today
I keep bracing for that hit
But there's not sign of it
No obstacles in sight
My skies are clear tonight (My skies are full of light)
I keep thinking I might see that cloud arrive
Oh but there's no sign of it
No sign of it

And as I look around, it's all new ground
the leaves on the trees touch down
But I'm above weightless as a dream
It's been a long road, a heavy load
I just simply had to go
Had to get here hard as it's been

In and out of luck
yeah at time it was difficult
I got a new life baby, it takes some getting
used to but...

Repeat Chorus

I don't wanna be the one who's old before their time
and lose the wonder that I felt as a child
Can't run this race believing I might lose.
Still so much to see and so much left to do.
Yes, I'll fall before I fly
But no one can say I never tried.

Oh we just get one ride around the sun
in this dream of time
It goes so fast
But one day we look back and we ask,
"Was that my life?"

I close my eyes and think how lucky I have been
To hold the ones I love and share my dreams with them
All those sunny days and all those starry skies
Good morning kisses and sweet goodnights
Oh I can't tell them enough
Just how much that they are loved

Oh you just get one ride around the sun
in this dream of time
It goes so fast that one day we look back
and we ask, "was that my life?"

We just get one ride around the sun
in this dream of time
It goes so fast, that one day we look back
and we ask, "was that my life?"

"ooh, was that my life..rollin' on by?"

"rollin', rollin', rollin, rollin' on by....
was that my life?"

Leaving everything at home
I headed out in the pouring rain
Kept thinkin' bout the two of us
and how we ended up this way
It took you by surprise baby when
I told you yesterday
Cause you never thought that
I could be that strong

And I don't have a second more
I'm gonna waste on you
And you can hate me if you need to

I'm not anybody's girl
And I will not conform
And I won't play that good girlfriend you pushed
around before
I'm not anybody's girl
That's how it's gonna be
Can't tell me what to do or say or who to be
And the only one I'll ever answer to is me

Wasted too much time on analyzing everything I do
Only to figure out that I was wasting time on you
I don't really blame you baby I'm a little guilty too
Cause I never told you, you were wrong

And if you think that you gotta control
me just to be a man
Then baby you will never understand

I'm not anybody's girl
And I will not belong
And there's nothing you can do for me
I can't do on my own
I'm not anybody's girl
That's just the way it is
And I will do exactly what I wanna do
With anyone and anywhere I choose

and I will choose what's best for me
and I will do what comes most naturally
as long as I am free
and when I fall in love again
I'll take a vow to never bend To someone else's vision of me
Cause I'm free

But I'm not anybody's girl
And I will not conform
And I won't play that good girlfriend you pushed
around before
I'm not anybody's girl
And I will not belong
And there's nothing you can do for me
I can't do on my own
Not anybody's girl
That's how it's gonna be
Can't tell what to do or say or who to be
Cause the only one who owns this girl is me
And I will not conform
And there's nothing you can do for me
I can't do on my own

so I'm waiting by a phone
for the blessed ring
like a holy grail
for a fisher king
time is ticking down
like a metronome
rhythm for my brain and its ceaseless games
I never seem to play them to the beat I hear

thought my heart beat is a beat that beats so near

so we had a talk last night about the heavy blow
that you dealt in fright you're back against the wall
it was a puzzle piece important to the whole
that I may not find to place within that hole
I never seem to put them in the gaps I see

like a puzzle where the pieces lost to me

Chorus
so I'm changing who I am
'cause what I am's not good
and I know you love me now
but I don't see why you should
and I don't see why you should
no, I don't see why you should

so I drift into the air
like a moth to light
down the boulevard to the coffee shop
in the land of sorrow in the land of wait
I fear is bearing down on this lonely town
I never seem to write them down as good as him

like I somewhere lost the keys that let me in

Chorus
so I'm changing who I am
'cause what I am's not good
and I know you love me now
but I don't see why you should
so I'm changing who I am
'cause what I am's not good
and I know you love me now
but I don't see why you should
and I don't see why you should
no, I don't see why you should

You sit there on the couch
Sipping your scotch and ice
You turn the TV on
And tune me out again

So what would you say to me
If you could talk to me
You could ask anything
I wouldn't lie
But you're okay with this
Damaging awkwardness
So i'll just play it safe
And keep it inside
Boys don't cry

I used to hold your hand
So tight there was no question
But now even when you're near
I've never felt so alone

If you just stand beside me
I'll keep you in my life
Tell me how much you love me
And i'll be just fine
Don't be afraid of me

I see the world with different eyes
loud and clear I hold my view
I see no reason yet to give up
the sweat idea of my utopia

Lately I've found myself
drowning in coffee and other habits
told me to make a change
told me to get a grip of things
like just buy a paper to follow up
the rest of the world on the other side of my fence

I see the world...

I figured there'll be someone
waiting for someone else like me
someone that needs a break
needs to catch up with the real world
maybe that someone and me could meet
maybe together we could explore the other side

can you hear the melody
can you hear the world is calling us
I have always lived like this
turned inside myself in my utopia
oh my utopia

I see the world...

Frankie's gone
Daddy has figured out by now
She's long gone
To a town
She'd heard in song on the radio
Years ago

On a bus
Frankie offers a last cigarette
To someone named Angel
On the ride
She tells the tale of dreams undone
And those to come

Oooooo
Maybe we're not alone
Oooooo
Maybe we're not alone

On the aisle
A man turns to say
"I got nothing to hold me
Since she went away."
Angel says
"Frankie and me, hey man,
We'll start a new,
Just like you."

So they ride
Side by side by side
Into the darkness
Every mile
They're passing through
Just makes them think
It could be true

Oooooo
Maybe we're not alone
Oooooo
Maybe we're not alone

But surrounded by
Silent points of life
That fight to be seen
In a world that's quick to
Cast its shadow
And douse the leaves

Driver says
"It's the end of the line, time to go"
So Frankie wakes Angel
"Hey we're here,
I don't know where here is.
It's just some town;
This is just some bus,
But it's far enough
For the three of us."

Oooooo
Maybe we're not alone
Oooooo
Maybe we're not alone

Lying in my bed I hear the clock tick
And think of you
Turning in circles confusion -
Is nothing new
Flashback to warm nights -
Almost left behind
A suitcase of memories
Time after -

Sometimes you picture me -
I'm walking too far ahead
You're calling to me I can't hear
What you have said -
And you say - go slow -
I've fallen behind -
The second hand unwinds

If you're lost you can look - and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you - I'll be waiting
Time after time

If you fall I will catch you - I will be waiting
Time after time
Time after time

After your picture fades and darkness has
Turned to gray
Watching through windows - I'm wondering
If you're okay
And you say - go slow -
I've fallen behind
The drum beats out of time -

If you're lost you can look - and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you - I'll be waiting
Time after time

If you fall I will catch you - I will be waiting
Time after time
Time after time
Mmm mmm mmm time after time
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Time after time
Time after time

I view life from the top
Always believing
In dreams inside my heart that I was reaching
When I wished upon a star a pot of gold was never far always

I acted like a fool
thinking I had made it
To hide my loneliness I had to fake it
but at last I saw the light
when you came into my life
Making all my feelings overflow

Now in everything I view
there you are
And my greatest wish
Is to hold you in my heart
I can feel your spirit lifting me
And that special gift is all I see it's true
everywhere I look there's you

If the whole world comes apart
It starts to shatter
And we lose everything what does it matter

And if you stay with me
that's all I'll ever need
You're the one that gives the strength and hope for tomorrow

now in everything i do
there you are
and my greatest wish
is to hold you in my heart
I feel your spirit lifting me
that special gift is all I see it's true
Everywhere I look there's you

Say you'll always stay beside me
Tell me you'll love me forever and ever
sharing life together!

And in everything I do
there you are
And my greatest wish is to hold you in my heart
I feel your spirit lifting me
that special gift is all I see its true
everywhere I look there's you

I feel your spirit lifting me
that special gift is all I see it's true
everywhere I look theres you

(phillip coleman / carolyn dawn johnson)

I haven't been myself these days according to friends
I tend to lose part of me when my heart's on the mend
I'll be alright it's safe to say
'cause just like your love this is only a phase

Oh, I've been on this road a time or two, it's nothing new
I'll get on my feet and over you
I tell myself that everything will be just fine
I'm just going through a little down-time

Some might think I've gotten caught up in heartache's aftermath
But your memory's taken second to a good book and nice long bath
I must admit it threw me at first
But I'm convinced I'm over the worst

Oh, I've been on this road a time or two, it's nothing new
I'll get on my feet and over you
I tell myself that everything will be just fine
I'm just going through a little down-time

Time is meant to play the part
In taking care of broken hearts

Oh, I've been on this road a time or two, it's nothing new
I'll get on my feet and over you
I tell myself that everything will be just fine
I'm just going through a little down-time

I'm just going through a little down-time
