Michael Hedges Holiday Lyrics

Relax
Get away from it all
No solutions seem to last
It's a holiday
Wear a smile
Put on a celebration mask

Take off
Leave a trail
Let the children wave their sparklers through the sky
It's a holiday
But if the fuses get too short, they won't ask why

If you hover above your enemy and you're ready to send your aluminum boxes down
It's a holiday
send the soldiers on a one-way weekend pass
There's a field of blue in my memory
But the stars reform and the stripes begin to fade
For the holiday
When the world turns independence day at last
At last
