| | Independence Day Lyrics Artist(Band):Martina McBride
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 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 when time ran out there was no one about On Independence Day CHORUS: 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, 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 Repeat Chorus Roll the stone away It's Independence Day If you find some error in Independence Day Lyrics, would you please submit your corrections to me? Thank You. Review about Independence Day It's a good song..too bad songman doesn't get it! | Reviewer: Darryl | 11/24/09 I'm a guy who can relate to domestic violence (I've witnessed it and stopped it!)Songman I'd pity you but It would fall on ingnorant, close minded ears! Lets see what YOU would do if you were abused day in and day out, in the day where speaking out about domestic violence was taboo, in a small town where everyone knows each other AND the whole attitude was the man is right and the women is wrong. I think you would do the same thing! I guess songman you weren't taught by your parents "If you have nothing nice to say DON"T SAY ANYTHING! I am a guy and I like to sing this at karaoke | Reviewer: Big Richard | 8/28/09 I like to sing this song at karaoke. I am male and can hit the high notes on the chorus. I learned of this song on Sean Hannity and it is neat. The girls love to sing along with me and then after I sing it they want me to dance with them. love this song | Reviewer: jane doe | 4/2/09 The song is not about murder it's about self- defense I've lost someone to domestic abuse who reported it and was still abused, there are situations where u have to kill or be killed and some people are not so lucky. This song is so beautiful because of its message. For the girls | Reviewer: Shayleah | 3/18/09 I agree with ya, Linda. I'd want my mother to do the same...I know i would. This song shows how hard it can be for a woman in a small town who is being abused...trust me; it's hard. I love this song, its a great way to show that independance isn't necessarily a wonderful, liberating experience, it's painful. Song | Reviewer: Curtis Warren | 7/3/08 Great song--only thing that ruins it is the fact that conservative crazy Sean Hannity has the nerve to use it for his radio show's theme. The song is about domestic abuse Sean, not international terrorism! songman wrongman | Reviewer: Linda | 1/10/08 Guess you've never lived it, songman. Kill or be killed. What would you want your mom or sis to do? Whatever you would want them to do, you probably wouldn't find out about it until it was too late. Bummer. If you really are interested in finding out the truth, volunteer at your local women's shelter. Oh, and it's not just men vs. women. Works both ways, believe it or not. I love this song!!! | Reviewer: anna | 12/4/07 I think that this song is BEAUTIFUL!!! songman should zip his/her lips because the song is about a little girl who ran away to the fair on independance day. Her parents were fighting. She finally went home to discover that (out of defence) the mother set the house on fire. The dad dies and the mom goes to jail, so she is sent to an orphanage. Its not promoting violence, its sending an important message. Great Song! | Reviewer: Julie | 10/23/07 I think that this song is great because there are alot of women who are being abused or who have been before and most of them fear for their lives. I think that songman should be quiet because he doesn't know what he's talking about! I'm sure there have been women who have reported the abuse to authorities but even that doesn't always work. There are a lot of dangerous men out there. Yeah murder is wrong, but if you really fear for yourself and you are trying to defend yourself and it comes out to that, I say better them than you. love this song | Reviewer: BMW | 9/28/07 I love Martina McBride.She is a wonderful singer.She has a good singing range!Honestly I dont know how she hits those high notes and holds them out!She does a good job though!I love this one's for the girls better though! whatever | Reviewer: songman | 8/24/07 This song is a joke! For assault - murder is recommended. Martinas a millionaire who tells us it's okay to kill. Making a small child independant by killing the father is a horrible message. I wish singers would only write about THIER OWN EXPERIENCES. Maybe it's empowering to think you can kill your oppressor, when you should of called authorities at the FIRST SIGN OF ABUSE. Teach the girls that burning the house down is freedom and more violence is okay. Stupid sad country songs are for people who don't get it in the first place. Please write about first hand emotions and not what homeless children and abusive parents should do.
