Lyrics for Independence Day

Future butterfly Gonna spend the day Higher than high You'll be Beautiful confusion, ooh Oooh Once I was you Ah, ah... Ah, ah... I saw you caught between All the people out Making a scene In a bright Ideal tomorrow, ooh Don't go too far Stay who you are Ah, ah... Everybody knows Everybody knows Everybody knows You only live a day But it's brilliant anyway I saw you out A perfect place It's gonna happen soon But not today So go to sleep Amid the change I'll meet you here tomorrow Independence day Independence day Independence day
