Well she seemed alright by dawn's early light
Though she looked a little worried and weak
She tried to pretend he wasn't drinking again
But daddy left the proof for her cheap
I was only eight years old that summer
And I always seemed to be in the way
So I took myself down to the fair in town
On independence day
Well word gets around in a small small town
Said he was a dangerous man
But mama was proud and she stood her ground
She knew she was on the losing end
Some folks whispered some folks talked
But everybody looked the other way
And when time ran out there was no one about
On independence day
Let freedom ring
Let the white dove sing
Let the whole world know
That today is a day of reckoning
Let the weak be strong
Let the right be wrong
Roll the stone
Away let the guilty pay independence day
Well she lit up the sky that fourth of july
By the time that the firemen come
They just put out the flames and took down some names
And sent me to the county home
Now I ain't saying it's right or it's wrong
But maybe it's the only way
Talk about your revolution
It's independence day
Let freedom ring
Let the white dove sing
Let the whole world know
That today is a day of reckoning
Let the weak be strong
Let the right be wrong
Roll the stone
Away let the guilty pay
Independence day
Roll the stone away
It's independence day
