Lyrics: Various Artists. American Idol Season 4. Independence Day - Carrie Underwood.

Well she seemed all right by dawns early light
But she looked a little worried and weak
She tried to pretend he wasn't drinking again,
But Daddy left the proof on her cheek

Well 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

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
Its Independence Day

Well she lit up the sky that Fourth of July
And by the time the firemen come
They just put out the flames and took down some names
To send me to the county home
Now I aint sayin' its right or it wrong
But maybe its the other way
Talk about a revolution
Its Independence Day

Chorus
Roll the stone away
Its Independence Day
