Say Zuzu Independence Day (Cliff Murphy) Wake up all you dreamers Open all your windows Hang up all your streamers on the 4th of July Come out all you cowards Step outside and shower your praise On the heroes as they march by in the parade. Do you remember how we'd sit, way back in 1976, When the future seemed so bright in the bicentennial? Though I was only four years old I can remember how you'd hold me On your shoulders to watch the men walk by As independence day parades on by again. Stand up all you old men Shake the dust out of your limbs And the memories of better men dying at your side. Still you serve and protect And hide the dark truths in your chest So we all still believe it was neat and clean Do you remember how we'd sit, way back in 1976, When the future seemd so bright in the bicentennial? Though I was only four years old I can remember how you'd hold me On your shoulders to watch the men walk by As independence day parades on by again. There's a beauty in the silence That comes just before the storm blows up And showers all the people along the road. Those who see it coming Into their houses they run As the parade splits and old men duck their heads. Do you remember how we'd sit, way back in 1976, When the future seemed so bright in the bicentennial? Though I was only four years old I can remember how you'd hold me On your shoulders to watch the men walk by As independence day parades on by again.
