What persistence and tenacity
And the strong will to survive
The courage to go the extra mile
That my friends is no jive
Continuing to take flight
In spite of all obstacles
Shows a vital source of energy
And makes one quite durable
The red, white, and blue
The colors of our flag that shine through
Our nation will always stand tall
And rise above it all
This is a time for a celebration
For this holiday tradition
America is the good land
Where all of us will raise our hand
Always spread good cheer
Be the inspiration
Use words of encouragement
Enlighten your vision
Uplift and empower
Strike with a tender force
Fulfill your obligation
Be that power source
Do not waste your life away
Hanging around the wrong crowd
For they have nowhere to go
They are obnoxious and loud
The more that you ally yourself with them
Nothing but trouble and turmoil will appear
You will often find yourself in a trance
Am I making myself abundantly clear?
Remain self-motivated and self-determined
Do your best each day
Believe that you can
Have that strong will in every way
It all starts with one step
Put your heart into everything that you do
Find your inner strength
Guide your way through
The narrator tells the story
And everyone gives their attention
They are listening accordingly
In order to understand the situation
Today's youth are encouraged
To get a valuable education
In order to become a leader tomorrow
And step forward in a positive direction
Always be that sunshine
Who brightens someone's day
Continue to uplift and empower
Be that mentor that enshrines accordingly
If you can encourage others to do their best
People will always see you as an inspiration
This will give them that vibrant energy
To thrive in any given situation
