Hard contemporary folk and acoustic rock
Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Crowds line the streets for the fourth of july parade
You're out there somewhere but I can't see your face
Celebrating independence, marching away
I watch from the window but I can't participate
[Chorus]
Hallelujah, celebrate
Waive the flag in praise
Cheer for freedom, mark the date
It's independence day
[verse 2]
Fireworks light up in the summer evening sky
But all I see is the empty space where you used to lie
Trapped in the memories of the life you've left behind
As the final notes of the anthem fade into the night
[chorus]
[Bridge]
You've cut the ties that bind us, set your eyes on something new
In a bitter irony I can see my happiness depends on you
[chorus]
