An anniversary is a day that commemorates or celebrates a past event that occurred on the same day of the year as the initial event. For example, the first event is the initial occurrence or, if planned, the inaugural of the event. One year later would be the first anniversary of that event. The word was first used for Catholic feasts to commemorate saints.
The Latin phrase dies natalis (literally "birth day") has become a common term, adopted in many languages, especially in intellectual and institutional circles, for the anniversary of the founding ("legal or statutory birth") of an institution, such as an alma mater (college or other school). Even in ancient Rome, we know of the [dies] Aquilae natalis ("birthday of the eagle", anniversary of the official founding of a legion).
Most countries around the world celebrate national anniversaries, for example the United States Bicentennial. These could be the date of independence of the nation or the adoption of a new constitution or form of government. The important dates in a sitting monarch's reign may also be commemorated, an event often referred to as a 'Jubilee'.

I got my ways - I got my reasons
I sit for days - got the reasons why
I like to sit around and get high risk my life away
Looks like another nervous breakdown
I can suck it in - and turn another bottle down
I'm late for the second time straight this week today
Listen to the radio with my friends sitting on the left side
Listen to the radio with my friends sitting on the right side
Waking up staring at the ceiling as I kling to you to stop this feeling
I'm late for the second time straight this week today
I got my ways - I got my reasons
I can see the days - got the reasons why
I like to sit around and get high risk my life away
Listen to the radio with my friends sitting on the left side
Listen to the radio with my friends sitting on the right side
Listen to the radio with my friends sitting on the left side
Listen to the radio with my friends sitting on the right side
Listen to the radio with my friends sitting on the left side
