[00:00.00]Independence Day - Gretchen Peters
[00:17.92]Well she seemed all right by dawn's early light
[00:22.31]Though she looked a little worried and weak
[00:26.84]She tried to pretend he wasn't drinkin' again
[00:31.21]But daddy'd left the proof on her cheek
[00:35.82]And I was only eight years old that summer
[00:39.74]And I always seemed to be in the way
[00:44.03]So I took myself down to the fair in town
[00:48.47]On Independence Day
[00:59.38]Well word gets around in a small small town
[01:03.71]They said he was a dangerous man
[01:07.92]Mama was proud and she stood her ground
[01:11.73]But she knew she was on the losin' end
[01:16.77]Some folks whispered and some folks talked
[01:20.47]But everybody looked the other way
[01:25.11]And when time ran out there was no one about
[01:30.05]On Independence Day
[01:34.64]Let freedom ring let the white dove sing
[01:44.01]Let the whole world know that today
[01:47.81]Is a day of reckoning
[01:51.64]Let the weak be strong
[01:56.16]Let the right be wrong
[02:00.20]Roll the stone away let the guilty pay
[02:04.77]It's Independence Day
[02:14.69]Well she lit up the sky that fourth of July
[02:19.09]By the time that the firemen come
[02:23.64]They just put out the flames
[02:25.59]And took down some names
[02:27.56]And send me to the County home
[02:32.21]Now I ain't sayin' it's right or it's wrong
[02:36.32]But maybe it's the only way
[02:40.42]Talk about your revolution
[02:45.62]It's Independence Day
[02:50.26]Let freedom ring let the white dove sing
[02:59.78]Let the whole world know that today
[03:03.43]Is a day of reckoning
[03:07.24]Let the weak be strong let the right be wrong
[03:15.73]Roll the stone away let the guilty pay
[03:20.37]It's Independence Day
[03:24.52]Roll the stone away
[03:28.69]It's Independence day
