The Grand Ballroom - Independence Day Lyrics

You got to go wondering
Wandering all the way
Go past fountain square
Where they congregate
Way past the Gold Coast
The back alley ways
In dawn's early light
Take the king's highway
Turn back to take it in
When you're past the fray
It's your time to wander
Get back on your way
You'll ramble into marvels
Ruins and decay
You'll mistake the sirens' call
For epiphany
Strike up the march
Swell a new rhapsody
It's your hit parade
A fireworks display
It's Independence Day
You got to go out wandering
Past the snow and rain
Past a thousand sunsets
To where the willows sway
You will hear new rumors
See new shapes of clay
Walk past where the many
And the lonesome pray
You'll end up at the shoreline
You'll end up at the cave
You'll get past the intellect
Run out of things to say
Now go out and search for
Things that will not fade
That battlefield at the crosshairs
Of love and hate
The path is for gamblers
There's tolls to pay
Or throw passion's ransom into
The abyss of faith
It's Independence Day
Please now take this keepsake
I know I've come up short
I will ask for mercy
Before the court
You were never mine
That I would set you free
You will do this better
Much better than me
In your time out of mind
If you're lonely or afraid
Know that you're an oath we took
A promise that we made
It's the chambers of our
Heart you roam, its arteries
When you're out there wandering
We're everything you see
Strike up the march
Swell a new rhapsody
It's your hit parade
A fireworks display
It's Independence Day
