Independence
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It’s hard to beat someone
With nothing left to lose
It’s hard to beat someone
Fighting to preserve their way of life
And if they beat me down
Then I will rise again
Now I refuse to die
I will be defiant till the end
So here I stand alone
With nothing left to lose
And all the storms of life
Will now stop me
Taking my revenge
Everything I took for granted
Appears to be gone
In the mirror I see someone
I don’t recognize
Where are the answers
That I once believed I knew
And now in this place I stand alone
Independence
My face appears in a nightmare
That now become real
I dread my walking hours
Because of what I may find
You took the role of deceiver
And you played it well
And now in this place I stand alone
Independence
From them all
See the fall
It’s hard to beat someone
Fighting to preserve their way of life
And if they beat me down
Then I will rise again
Now I refuse to die
I will be defiant till the end
So here I stand alone
With nothing left to lose
And all the storms of life
Will now stop me
Taking
Independence
From them all
See the fall
Rise again live without fear
