The 4th of July
is why mother's cry,
and fireworks fly,
and parades go by.
And July the 4th
is just for me,
I'm so glad to be free,
in this land that I see.
July 4th was made
by those who have prayed
that men might be brave
in the face of the fray.
So beat on that drum
and play your trombone
and call on the phone
and thank God for our Home
And those men so inspired
with the goal they desired
for a free land to fix,
back in '76.
