My Independence

Verse One

You built a wall you made it strong
You thought I couldn't climb
I stayed around but you put me down
For the last time
I'm through with broken promises
And nothing to believe in
I'm feeling stronger than I've ever been

Chorus:

This is my proclamation
This is my declaration
Of Independence
My Independence

This time won't be defeated
I've found the strength for leaving
And Independence
My Independence

Verse Two

Don't want to hear your tried words
They got no power over me
I've found a freedom deep inside that you can't see
Don't need your validation
So come down from your throne
The cage doors open and I'm gonna make it on my own

Chorus:

This is my proclamation
This is my declaration
Of Independence
My Independence
This time won't be defeated
I've found the strength for leaving
An Independence
My Independence


Bridge: I hold these truths to be self-evident
All men and women are created equal
So I am going to live my life and know my happiness

Repeat Chorus Twice Fade out
My Independence
