I'm not the keeper of my destiny I'm just a dreamer my own enemy In my bed as the world goes by Waiting for my moment to fly I can't love all that is good and true Could it be enough just to love on you In my head as you walk on by Lying here on the 4th of July I contemplate the things I can't change My faith shakes and my thoughts derange I contemplate the things I can't change My faith shakes and my thoughts derange Soon I'll face my day of reckoning I'm only a fool of what love brings In my bed as the world goes by Waiting for my moment to fly In my head as you walk on by Lying here for the 4th of July In my bed as the world goes by Waiting for my moment to fly In my head as you walk on by Lying here for the 4th of July Lying here for the 4th of July
