Independence © 2007 Owen Hovenden Let me be, let me be Let me be who I am I dont want your redemption I am not of the damned You can keep your righteous mercy With the bible on your shelf I am whole, let me be, be myself Dont talk to me of freedom and then tell me I must change As I walk in your sunlight I endure the silent rage My body is a canvass And I paint a world of pain My truth is a fire Let me burn in the flame Let me be, let me be Let me be who I am I dont need re-education I am not what you planned I wont swap my independence For your priviledge and wealth I am all that I need I am myself
