LYRICS: 
**************************************************** 
 
Sun is shining 
Sky is so blue 
I'm filled with hope 
It's promising 
The course my life is taking 
Searching of my truth has brought me here 
Facing things with confidence 
That all will be ok 
 
Past is gone 
Life goes on 
Memories remain 
I break the chain of misery and pain 
 
Marching to a different drum 
Shines my liberty 
It's growing stronger every day 
I feel it in me 
Leading me to a different world 
Freedom shows the way 
It's there for you and me to find 
It's heaven on earth 
 
I'm standing here today and understand 
There is no reason to hide anymore 
So many things to see, so many things to gain 
My life is not in vain 
 
Marching to a different drum 
Shines my liberty 
It's growing stronger every day 
I feel it in me 
Leading me to a different world 
Freedom shows the way 
It's there for you and me to find 
It's heaven on earth
