Independance Day

Martina McBride

Transposer:

(ª casa) (intro) 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 drinking again - But Daddy’d left the proof on her cheek 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 around 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 losing end Some folks whispered some folks talked But everybody looked the other way And when time ran out there was no one about (stop) On Independence Day 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 (stop) Roll that stone away let the guilty pay It’s Independence Day Well she lit up the sky that Fourth of July By the time that the firemen come They just put out the flames and they took down some names And sent me to the county home Now I ain’t saying it’s right or it’s wrong But maybe it’s the only way Talk about your revolution It’s Independence Day 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 that stone away let the guilty pay It’s Independence Day roll that stone away . It’s Independence Day

La chanson évoque le combat d'une femme face à la violence domestique, alors qu'elle tente de dissimuler les abus de son partenaire. À travers les yeux de sa fillette, on perçoit l'inquiétude et la souffrance qui règnent dans leur foyer, ainsi que la fierté et la force de la mère, même si elle sait qu'elle est en position de faiblesse. Le jour de la fête nationale symbolise un tournant, un désir de libération et un appel à la justice, où l'on souhaite voir les coupables confrontés à leurs actes. Dans une petite ville où les rumeurs circulent, chacun semble ignorer la vérité de cette situation tragique. Au final, la chanson soulève des questions sur la justice et le courage de se lever contre l'oppression, tout en offrant une projection de renouveau et d'espoir. Il s'agit d'un véritable cri de liberté, portant un message fort sur la nécessité de briser le silence et de revendiquer ses droits.
