[Verse 1]
We carried you in our arms
On Independence Day
And now you'd throw us all aside
And put us on our way
[Verse 2]
Oh, what daughter beneath the sun
Would treat a father so
To wait upon him hand and foot
And always answer "No"?
[Chorus]
Tears of rage, tears of grief
Why must I be the one to be the thief?
Come to me now, you know
We're so low, and life is brief
[Verse 3]
We pointed out the way to go
When we scratched your name in sand
Though you thought it was nothing more
Than a place for you to stand
[Verse 4]
Now, I want you to know that while we watched
You discovered there was no one true
But I remember that I thought
It was a childish thing to do
We carried you in our arms
On Independence Day
And now you'd throw us all aside
And put us on our way
[Verse 2]
Oh, what daughter beneath the sun
Would treat a father so
To wait upon him hand and foot
And always answer "No"?
[Chorus]
Tears of rage, tears of grief
Why must I be the one to be the thief?
Come to me now, you know
We're so low, and life is brief
[Verse 3]
We pointed out the way to go
When we scratched your name in sand
Though you thought it was nothing more
Than a place for you to stand
[Verse 4]
Now, I want you to know that while we watched
You discovered there was no one true
But I remember that I thought
It was a childish thing to do
