[Verse 1]
You've always told me that I couldn't make it without you
You had me believing it was true
But I've been feeling stronger about making my own way
And I think it's finally Independence Day

[Chorus]
It's Independence Day, I'm celebrating
It's not the fourth of July, but I'm not waiting
There's sure to be some fireworks over what I have to say
I'm leaving you, it's Independence Day

[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
I'm taking off my wedding band to let my freedom ring
I've been like a puppet on a string
And it ain't getting any better so don't beg me to stay
I've made up my mind, it's Independence Day

[Chorus]
It's Independence Day, I'm celebrating
It's not the fourth of July, but I'm not waiting
There's sure to be some fireworks over what I have to say
I'm leaving you, it's Independence Day
There's sure to be some fireworks over what I have to say
I'm leaving you, it's Independence Day
