Oh it's the 5th of July
I was walking the streets, everything's over now
Everything's still

There was still smoke in the sky
I was holding your hand, you looked so beautiful, your lips start to grin
Independence

I think that's singing we hear
Heroes and burdens to bear Maybe there is hope now, light coming through

Feels like the first of the year
Eerie, we're all trying to find, how to start over. Where to fit in
Now that it's done.

Independence

But all the colors were gone
Only ashes remained
Up to our anklebones, you pulled me close

This has been true all along
Oh we're not free as we seem and dreams aren't as simple after you win

Independence
came and went.
