Lyrics

Lyrics are as they appear in Twisted Angel.

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
Stepping out into the great
 unknown
And the night's the hardest
 time
When the doubts run through
 your mind
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
Stepping out into the great
 unknown
And the night's the hardest
 time
When the doubts run through
 your mind
Cause suddenly you find your
 self alone
Suddenly I found myself
