God bless America.
I woke up today to the ring of Freedom.
I pledged my allegiance
To this country and it’s people.

Today we celebrate our nation.
The place we all call home.
The place where it all started,
Where democracy had grown.

We fought an eight year war,
To achieve a free way of life,
And we are still fighting to this day,
To keep freedom alive.

Today we celebrate
So gather your friends and family
And say thanks to our soldiers,
And say hi to lady liberty.

Tonight we light fireworks
And gaze up at the night sky,
As freedom literally explodes
Right in front of your eyes.

I’m proud to be an American,
I hope you are too.
I’ll flash the Stars and Stripes forever,
I bleed Red, White, and Blue.
