[Verse 1]
I know I make mistakes
I will have to live and learn
Sometimes you play with fire
And sometimes you get burned

[Verse 2]
I have my dream to live
Following that star
It doesn't matter how long it takes
It doesn't matter how far

[Pre Chorus]
No time for make believing
And it's too late to turn back now
Yeah, yeah, yeah

[Chorus]
I've been dreaming about it
I can't live without it
I've got to find my own way
I'm not changing my mind now
Or looking behind now
This is my independence day
My independence day

[Verse 3]
I know it will take some time
But I won't give up the fight
Cause sometimes you win, sometimes you lose
But that's all right
Oh yeah

[Verse 4]
I've got to spread my wings
And learn how to fly
Cause this feeling drives me on
It's something I cannot deny

[Pre Chorus]
No time to make excuses
Cause it's too late to turn back now
Yeah, yeah yeah

[Chorus]
I've been dreaming about it
I can't live without it
I've got to find my own way
I'm not changing my mind now
Or looking behind now
This is my independence day
My independence day
Hey, my independence day (Aha)

[Bridge]
No matter what comes my way
I'm gonna live for today (Yeah yeah)
This is my, this is my independence day
(I'm gonna live for today)

[Chorus]
I've been dreaming about it
I can't live without it
I've got to find my own way
I'm not changing my mind now
Or looking behind now
This is my independence

I've been dreaming about it
I can't live without it
I've got to find my own way
I'm not changing my mind now
Or looking behind now
This is my independence day
My independence day (independence day)
Day, my independence day (independence day)

[Outro]
Wishing on that same bright star
I shouldn't wish my life away (wish my life away)
They say it's a small small world
They say it's a small small small small world
