Artist:Martina McBride
Song:Independence Day

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 was always in the way
So i took myself down to the fair in town
On independence day
Well word gets ariund in a small, small town
They said he was a dangerous man
But mama was proud and she stood her grond
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 was about
On independence day
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
On independence day

Well she lit up the sky the 4th of july
By the time that the fireman 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
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
On independence day

黎明的晨光中她似乎一切还好
尽管看上去有些不安和疲惫
她试图掩饰他没有再次地醉酒
但爸爸还是在她的脸上留下了证据
传言在小小的镇里流散
大家都说他是个危险的人
妈妈维系着自尊,不改初衷
但她清楚这样的日子就要结束

让自由之声回响 让勇敢之鸽鸣唱
让所有的人都知道今天是
清算之日
让懦弱变得坚强 让是变成非
推开顽石 孽债需要偿还
今天是独立日
消防员赶到时
她点燃的火光已将7月4日的天空照亮
他们只是扑灭了火焰
记下了一些名字
将我送去了县里的收容所

现在我并不评判对与错
可或许这是唯一的办法
来提及你的改变
今天是独立日
让自由之声回响 让勇敢之鸽鸣唱
让所有的人都知道今天是
清算之日
让懦弱变得坚强;让是变成非
推开顽石 孽债需要偿还
今天是独立日
推开顽石
今天是独立日

那年夏天我年仅8岁
觉得自己总是碍手碍脚
于是我自己去了镇上的集市
在那个独立日

有人交头接耳 有人议论纷纷
可大家都望向别处
当时限临近,附近空无一人
在那个独立日
