Dream of Independence Songtext
von Frida Hyvönen

Oh it′s my birthday again
Hip hip hooray
I'm fairly grown up now
I learned to keep my expectations low
And my standards high

I′ve built my life around a dream of independence
I've built my life around a dream of independence

But heaven knows I am a follower
Receptive and easily disturbed
You know I've dodged a lot of bullets
Just by keeping my impulses curbed
Can I afford to let go now?
Flow like rivers do
Would you abuse my softness if I showed it to you?
If I showed it to you
If showed it to you


Another year begins
Happy new year
I′m so much wiser now
I′ve even learned to take a decent look before I dive in

I've built my life around a dream of independence
I′ve built my life around a dream of independence

But honey, honey
I'm such a follower
Receptive and easily led
If you think I look powerful
What you see is a power of restraint
It′s not a room of one's own
It′s a dam in the river
I'm exploiting my own nature to make it in this world
Do you follow me honey?
Do you follow me babe?

Changing
Changing
Changing
I'm changing
