INDEPENDENCE DAY 26 June 03

When you broke those chains
You freed the slaves
It was the greatest gift
On Independence Day

The sun came down
The rain came down
The sweet and the sour
were one

Something to rejoice
The slave had a choice
Maybe you could give him back his name

I used to think that hope was a sin
That I would never be released
The sweetest gift
The last thing you could give

Was to set me free
All I want
Is to be set free

I have a creed :
It�s all I need
If love hurts
Then it doesn�t work
Love is not made of thorns

I�ll take the joy, the suffering
I�ll take it all, the everything
The good, the bad
The happy, the sad
It�s better to have lost
Than have never had
