Текст пісні
I came from the north escaping convention
The modern invention that won't let me be
To the shores of St. Maarten with my fiction addiction
To restart the fire a dreamer's remedy
Independence day and all I remember
Was a midnight rainbow that fell from the sky
As I stand on the beach I slowly surrender
To the child in me who can't say good-bye
The rockets in the air
And the people everywhere
Put away their differences for awhile
Oh I am still a child when it comes to something wild
That was the night I painted the sky
I dug in the sand like a boy, on a mission
And there in my hands a pyro's delight
A bombadier, a nighttime magician
I spark the sky as the rockets fly from view
The rockets in the air
And the people everywhere
Put away their differences for awhile
I am still a child when it comes to something wild
That was the night I painted the sky
Oh the mortars they roar in anticipation
Preceding the sigh of the uplifted eyes
It showers us all in sulfuric sensation
The colors shine in a fiery rhyme tonight
The rockets in the air
And the people everywhere
Put away their differences for awhile
I am but a child when it comes to something wild
Oh that was the night
That was the night
Oh that was the night I painted the sky
Painted the sky
Painted the sky
