I know a man who wants his name to be independence
He wants to walk down the highway alone
He said he never wants to know
The meaning of the word dependence
He said he living this way he would never go wrong

He'd be free from love, yeah
Free from me

But I see a man struggling with acceptance
Struggling with the words daddy please come home
I see a man standing backwards on the front line
Backward on the front line of a battlefield of dreams
Gone wrong

And he's free from love, yeah
And he's free from love, yeah
My babies, free of me

And now I'm standing on the outside of his existence
Standing on my battlefield of my own
And somewhere down that road
I think my name became independence
I gotta tell you now baby there ain't nothing going wrong

Cause I'm free from your love
And I'm free from your love, yeah
And I'm free from your love
Baby, free from me

Free from me
Free from me
Free from me
Free from me
