Letra da Música Independence Day de Jim Peterik

Sometimes, in our lives
Feel like we're juggling knives
In search of balance and control
When dreams die hard
And leave you bruised and scarred
You hear the shouts and whispers of your soul
So I broke the chains, I missed that plane
Cause I refused to go down in flames
I crossed the line the day that mine was drawn

Yeah, I parachuted out from a dream about to crash
I knew I had to save myself
From the wreckage bone and ash
So I ripped the cord and landed in a field miles away
Overheard the sky exploded
I heard a voice beside me say
"This is more than just Fourth of July
It's your independence day"

Time was, back then
The muse joined us as friends
But we were rising for a fall
What makes us change
Till only fear remains
As silence hovers like a pall
When the tears had past, I saw at last
My reflection in a window glass
A man whose eyes were focused, brightly shining

Yeah, I parachuted out from a dream about to crash
I knew I had to save myself
From the wreckage bone and ash
So I ripped the cord and landed in a field miles away
Overheard the sky exploded
I heard a voice beside me say
"This is more than just Fourth of July
It's your independence day"
When freedom leaves it's light on
We're so quickly drawn to it's flame
I only know, I can't go back, again

Yeah, I parachuted out from a dream about to crash
I knew I had to save myself
From the wreckage bone and ash
So I ripped the cord and landed in a field miles away
Overheard the sky exploded
I heard a voice beside me say
"This is more than just Fourth of July
It's your independence day"
