Suddenly
RIMES LEANN Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's Independence Day I'm free
And it's a strange place to be
I'm gonna break these chains
Unleash the changes in me

I see an endless road
I feel the restless wind
I've lost the fear inside
Cause I've got no choice
But to live or die

[Chorus]
Suddenly you're in this fight
Alone
Steppin' out into the great
Unknown
And the night's the hardest
Time
When the doubts run through
Your mind
Cause suddenly you find your
Self alone
Suddenly you find yourself

In an empty room
With a suitcase on the floor
It'll be daylight soon
I'm gonna wage my private
War

Who's watchin' over me
Must be a guardian angel
I just need time to breathe
And give my life
The best of me

[Chorus]

Suddenly you're in this fight
Steppin' out and then

[Chorus]

Suddenly you're in this fight
Alone
Steppin' out into the great
Unknown
And the night's the hardest
Time
When the doubts run through
Your mind
Cause suddenly you find your




Self alone
Suddenly I found myself

I left home so many times
1) 1970 when racial riots were going on after Martin Luther King Jr was Assassinated my family sent me to mom’s sister’s house 300 miles away
2) in 1972 I ran away from home age 17 to help with Flood Efforts in Wilksberry Pennsylvania, 5 miles from same mom’s sister house. Stayed there from after the Rock Concert my third ride hitch hiking 🥾 gave me they had tickets 🎟 to Pocono Mountain 🏔 Concert #10 July 8&9,1972 helped remodel five to six homes with my uncle mom’s sister husband till I returned home on Halloween 1972.
3) I traveled all over the East Coast Fairfax Virginia, Essex Md, (Dell&Travis Carnival 🎡) then back to same town in Pennsylvania but had my own apartment and job (Ghost Town in the Glen Moosic Pennsylvania till the security guard got jealous and took over my job on the Go Cart Track in August 1980) then returned home till September when I gave a friend a ride to Miami Florida and I returned to Tampa for 13 months and had three jobs.
A) Hyatt & Associate Land Surveying for two weeks and went to a company picnic on a Saturday and on Sunday went to a bar and got hired, B) on the Job Site of the Downtown Tampa Hyatt Regency Hotel job site where I was a form carpenter helper building an 18 Story Hotel and after a number of injuries I quit and worked in a Brake Shop relining Brake Shoes for 18 Wheeler Trucks and worked up to turning Drums & Rotors for car’s & Trucks & 18 Wheelers till I was ordered to use the replacement New Bolts on New Brake Drums for an 18 Wheeler 🚛 and the bolts were under grade and three months later an 18 Wheeler lost all 4 Drums on its Tractor and Killed 4 people in another state and once again I returned home.
4) when I was 27 years old I joined the ARNG and went to Fort Benning Georgia for Basic Training and I got General Discharge under Honorable Conditions because I had Cancer
Well I’m back home living in My Parents House all alone now
I’m retired and on Social Security Retirement after many years on Social Security Disability
Not Fun for Sure
Good Luck 🍀 to You Marcelo Araujo
