Day

Made Famous Byz MARTINA MCBRIDE

(Q www.singtotheworld.com
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 on her cheek
And 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.
They said he was a
dangerous man
But Momma was proud
and she stood her
ground. She knew she
was on the losin' 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 the
day of a reckoning
Let the weak be strong.

Let the right be wrong
Roll the stone away.

Let the guilty pay.
It's 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 sayin' 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 the
day of a reckoning
Let the weak be strong.

Let the right be wrong
Roll the stone away.

Let the guilty pay.
It's Independence day
