00:30Well, she seemed alright by dawn's early light, though she looked a little worried and weak.
00:45She tried to pretend he wasn't drinking again, but daddy left the proof on her cheek.
00:53I was only eight years old that summer, and I always seemed to be in the way.
01:00So I took myself down to the fair in town, on Independence Day.
01:07Well, word gets around in a small, small town, they said he was a dangerous man.
01:22But mama was proud, and she stood her ground. She knew she was on the losing end.
01:29Some folks whispered, some folks talked, but everybody looked the other way.
01:40When time ran out, there was no one back on Independence Day.
01:49Let freedom ring, let the wonder sing.
01:58Let the whole world know that today is a day of reckoning.
02:05Let the weak be strong, the might be wrong.

02:50Let's talk about your revolution.
02:54It's Independence Day.
02:59Let freedom ring, let the white dove sing.
03:09Let the whole world know that today is a day of reckoning.
03:16Let the weak be strong, let the wrong be wrong.
03:24For the while when guiltily paid.
03:28Let Independence Day.
