This song deals with aging. The time that you have to come to grips with the fact that you can't do the things you once could and the struggles therein. This the latest song I have written
INDEPENDENCE
Lyrics by Jeff Ledbetter
©2018 Jeff Ledbetter Music
Verse 1
I never wanted to spend my life
depending on someone else,
When times got hard , when times got tough,
I stood tall and tighten my belt
I always believed my destiny
was something that was in my hands
I made decision that was right for me,
that others wouldn't understand
Chorus
Its my war of Independence,
that I'm fighting for each day
My War of Independence,
that seems to be slipping away
There's a battle that is raging,
and I'm sure there will be more
I may not win every one,
I've just got to win the war
Verse 2
I'm lesser man, if I ask for help
But I'm a fool if I don't
That's what's running through my mind
A declaration of right and wrong
Things I could do not long ago
I struggle with today
It breaks my heart, to say I can't
When my children want to play
Chorus
Its my war of Independence,
that I'm fighting for each day
My war of Independence,
that seems to be slipping away
There's a battle, that is raging,
and I'm sure there will be more
I may not win every one,
I've just got to win the war
Verse 3
I could figure out a way to make things work
Never needed no one else
But time has way of changing your life
And make you question yourself
My Constitution getting amended
Faster than I'd like
But I've got an army of family and friends
That's ready to help me fight.
Chorus
Its my war of Independence,
That I'm fighting for each day
My war of Independence,
that seems to be slipping away
There's a battle that is raging,
and I'm sure there will be more
I may not win every one,
I've just got to win the war
