Happy Birthday America |
 |
|
Every year it comes around
No individual party but one big bash
Cook outs, time at the beach or lakes
Fireworks to light up the sky
Parades are held with buntings of Red White and Blue
Men and women in uniform march in perfect lock step
Clowns and horses are all abound
Children smile and wave the small flags given to them
This is a birthday for our Nation
For on July fourth, Seventeen Seventy Six
We proclaimed our freedom to the small world then
That we wanted to become an independent and sovereign nation
Yet, this year we find that Freedom is not free
That our citizens will be far away so another country can be
free
For they will put their lives on the line for our ideals
But they know they will be thought of by those at home
For this is the Fourth of July for all to see
A land that knows its freedoms are not free
A land that does not forget our hard kept ideals
A land rich in history
Happy Birthday America |
