July 4th, 1776
with declaration signed
independence flourished
forever, yours and mine

Stand proud to be American
show pride for liberty
the flag we call Old Glory
on land, in air, by sea

This Country stands United
we fight to keep it free
red, white and blue of America
still waves with dignity

Smile in celebration
hold those banners high
today's America's Birthday
her candle's grace the sky

Stars and stripes of freedom
her colors never run
America the beautiful
from dawn 'til setting sun
 
Go ahead 'n celebrate
enjoy this special day
hats off to America
God bless the USA

Have a Happy and Safe 4th of July!
