Independence Day - Carrie Underwood

Well, she seemed alright by dawn's early light 
Though she looked a little worried and weak 
She tried to pretend he wasn't drinkin' 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 Mama 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 a 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 came 
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 

Roll the stone away 
It's Independence Day
