Lyrics
I came from the north, escaping convention
Modern invention that won't let me be
To the shores of St. Martin 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 goodbye
The rockets in the air and the people everywhere
Put away their differences for a while
Oh, I am still a child when it comes to something wild
Oh, 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 bombardier, 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 a while
Yes, I am still a child when it comes to something wild
Oh, 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
Won't you put away your differences for a while
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
