Owl City - The 5th Of July Lyrics

My mother watched the fireworks From her hospital bed And after it was all over She held me for the first time On the 5th

And deep in Iowa country In a Heavenly Hideaway On the shores of Lake Rathbun My folks brought me home

Oo on the 5th Oo of July Oo on the 5th Oo

A teacher and a mechanic Brought me into this world And they've loved me with all their hearts Since the day I opened my eyes So I'd do well To tell myself

To slow down And tell my folks I love 'em With all of my heart 'Cause someday The Lord is gonna call them home And someday they'll be gone

To slow down And tell your folks you love 'em With all of your heart 'Cause someday The Lord is gonna call them home And someday they'll be gone

'Cause we all live Just one life And mine began Late that night

Oo on the 5th Oo of July Oo on the 5th Oo of July

Oh on the 5th Oh of July Oh on the 5th Oh
