Chris Filer - Independence Day lyrics
rate meBelinda Smith/Bill Filer/Chris Filer
Big tent Wal-Mart parking lot
I’m 13 in Crazy Mike’s fireworks spot
And it’s the 4th of July
Some say Mike changed in the war
Since he’s back his mind’s not the same anymore
But he’s still a good guy
But something happens around this time of year
His voice is strong, and his words are clear
CHORUS:
He talks about freedom, sacrifice
The kind of love it takes for one to give his life
A hero, and the price he paid
He’s so grateful to be saved
On Independence Day
Same tent, same old parking lot
It’s 20 years and back at Mike’s fireworks spot
And it’s the same story
Well maybe I’m just older now
But maybe old Mike is really talking about
A different kind of free
Cause there’s a worn out Bible in his hands
And listening now I understand
Every time I hear that sound
Or see the lights fill up the sky
I think of why
We talk about freedom, sacrifice
The kind of love it takes for one to give His life
A hero and the price He paid
I’m so grateful to be saved
On Independence Day
