~July the Fourth is here at last
The sky is filled with light
Bombs are bursting in the air
Great colors in the night
Gathered all to celebrate
The Birthday that we cheer
Freedom ever present now
With glory we will hear
Look up now and see our glow
That makes you feel such pride
Explosions of majestic light
That rumbles from all sides
Time to celebrate freedom's light
With colors that will bind
America's sweet Liberty
Our country well defined
Join us in this Birthday bash
Hear the mighty blast
See the sparkles light the sky
With beauty that will last
Keep the love light shining bright
Over hills and plains
America the beautiful
Our loyalty remains.~
