Independence Day
WhiteHeart
Look it, Daddy
Look at that parade
They got a marchin’ band

Ask not
What your country can do for you
Ask
What you can do for your country

You got to know the truth
If you wanna be free

What is freedom anyway?

Let freedom ring
From every hill and mole hill in Mississippi
From every mountainside
Where all of God’s children
Black men and white men
Jews and Gentiles
Protestants and Catholics
Will be able to join hands
And sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual
Free at last
Free at last
Thank God Almighty
Free at last!

Listen to our declaration
Listen to our testament
We’ve been given a revelation
We’re sure of where we stand

So let the banner
Be unfurled
We found a Light of hope
In a dying world

Hear the myth of modern man
You’re the god of your own land
Call your weak spineless fools
You’ve given up your right to rule

But I’ve been to the land of me
And I know I was never free
Freedom came
When I gave it all away

So we’re callin’ it Independence Day
I call it Independence Day
Let the rockets blaze across the sky
Raise the flag of praise way up high
Let the doubters call it what they may
It’s Independence Day

You can work to crown another hundred kings
But I believe in a better dream
They may call it slavery
But the biggest chain I knew was me

So let the idols tumble down
The walls of lies crumble to the ground
I know where salvation can be found
Let the idols tumble down

That’s why they call it Independence Day
I call it Independence Day
Let the rockets blaze across the sky
Raise the flag of praise way up high
Let the doubters call it what they may
It’s Independence Day

So join in the celebration
It’s a birth of a holy nation
It’s people alike
We are proud to say

It’s why we call it Independence Day
I call it Independence Day
Let the doubters call it what they may
‘Cause we call it Independence Day

It’s Independence Day

  3. Stirring, I love this FishHawk! I absolutely love it. I get a chance to sing a beautiful patriotic song in our church choir and I am so thrilled they called me to ask for me to sing with them. I'm going to listen to this song and be inspired for the rest of the day. (and longer)
