Owl City - The 5th Of July Lyrics
My mum woke my dad up
And said "it's time to leave"
So they jumped in the old Caprice
And tore off into the night
On the 4th of July
They flew through the darkness
Driving like Jehu
And they rolled into Ottumwa
Before the sun begun to rise
On the 4th of July
And in walks Bob and Janice
Rachel's on her way
To peek in through the window
Hoping to hear her grandson cry
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 of July
I've got my mother's brown eyes
And my dad's quiet way
And Grandma Rachel's love for music
The morning I arrived
On the 5th of July
Deeping in Iowa country
And a heavenly hideaway
On the shores of Lake Rathbun
My folks brought me home
On the 5th of July
That was when (that was when)
Life began (life began)
For me
That was when (that was when)
Life began (life began)
For me
A teacher and a mechanic
Brought me into this world
They loved me with all their hearts since
The day I opened my eyes
On the 5th of July
That was when (that was when)
Life began (life began)
For me
That was when (that was when)
Life began (life began)
For me

Owl City The 5th Of July Comments
I just listened to this in January 2020. What a beautiful tribute to your family! My life began near Lake Rathbun in S.E. Iowa as well.
Such a calming song to listen to everytime.
Only found this song because its my birthday
On the 5t of July we celebrate anniversary of burning one of our famous thinker. The more you know.
I was born in Ottumwa too 😁
This is just calming and for some reason gives a weird kind of nostalgia
its really good to know that owl city stuck to its rhythm instead of flying with all of the other garbage
My owl city heart 💙💙

M a July 5 baby 😁 anyone else ?
This is my new favorite song, it's just so catchy. I actually feel like singing along to it and dancing.
Adam's music is so catchy, I almost feel like I could tap dance to it. This song made me reflect and think about my own life and my past and where I was born (florida) and things like that.
I have never listened to owl city before, and I am just now starting to, but this song was really powerful.
Dont no wats wrong with the lyrics in the description
NOT enough views😞
Why this songs not be popular???
Spring, morning, born, pure, creation, motion, alive.
Best medicine, you know what I meant 😜
It has only now dawned on me that the reason the lyrics in the desc. start in the middle is because they start when he was born.

Adam, your music saved me from a rough spot back in 8th grade. We moved from Tennessee to Illinois and I felt so alone. But your music somehow made everything seem alright. Long story short I've since graduated highschool and was doing good. Until yesterday, July 5th 2019, my childhood dog (and best friend) passed away. I found myself again in your music, and find this. Kinda poetic, huh? Thank you.
Happy birthday Adam🎉 thank you for making the greatest songs and cheer me up when I'm feeling down 😊
I'm listening to this on the 5th of July so HAPPY BIRTHDAY ADAM!!
