Road To Independence

We’re born to think Born to make choices So many to choose So many voices We speak our minds When our voices set in Defying the many Who trained us to win We cared not for reason And heard not their talk We were eager to go alone Wanting to walk our own walk But the road to independence Where the sun kisses the earth Is the road that we had set upon From the moment of our birth We try so hard to go alone Forgetting all we’ve learned Sometimes losing friendships And sometimes getting burned But we go Yeah, we go For the road to independence Is the road you go alone So many travelers on this road I see them all the time Heavy packs and broken backs That really is a crime No one asks or wants a hand Often stubborn, sometimes strong They choose to walk their lonely walk Despite the fact it’s long But we go Yeah, we go For the road to independence Is the road you go alone When they reach their independence At that point, they will look back Grateful that they went alone And carried there, their pack The sun was just as promised As it lights both night and day As here in Independence We can say we went our own way
