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, it’s independence day
The song is not about 9-11 in some way I never grasped, it's about domestic violence, as you can determine by reading all the lyrics:
Well she seemed all right by dawn’s early light though she looked a little Worried and weak she tried to pretend he wasn’t drinkin’ aagain but daddy left The proof on her cheek and 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
Well word gets a round in a small, small town they said he was a dangerous man But mama was proud and she stood her ground she knew she was on the losin’ end Some folks whispered some folks talked but everybody looked the other way and When time ran out there was no one about on independence day
Chours: 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, it’s independence day
Well she lit up the sky that fourth of july by the time the firemen come they Just put out the flames and took down some names and send me to the county home Now I ain’t sayin’ it’s right or it’s wrong but maybe it’s the only way talk About your revolution it’s indepenednce day
Repeat chorous
Roll the stone away it’s independence day
Even better, Priscilla at Fox News Hounds found that "the writer of the song, Gretchen Peters, will be contributing royalties, from this song, to that bastion of all that is wrong with the world – Planned Parenthood "
