Fourth Of July Moon

She picked a place to live
Walked out under the sky and said I'm free
I'm starting over now
And the first thing I'm starting with is me
And a prayer was offered
And a prayer was answered
For a new life coming soon

On the bright side of the mountain
Where the stars are too many for counting
In the shadow of a Fourth of July moon

She could show you chains
Of a life she chose to flee
It's independence day
And she's the picture of liberty
Works at the bakery
Sells her jewelry
Serves you coffee with a silver spoon

On the bright side of the mountain
Where the stars are too many for counting
In the shadow of a Fourth of July moon

The sparklers are back in her eyes
She's got a firecracker smile
You would hardly recognize
If you'd known her back a while

Now isn't that the road
We all want to know
Where it's easy to smile
And easy to say hello
So if you're tied up to
A life that's killing you
And you need to find some room

Head to the bright side of the mountain
Where the stars are too many for counting
In the shadow of a Fourth of July moon
