Fourth of July

Independence Day,

we show our pride.

We show our pride,

with fireworks.

Fireworks represent,

bombs bursting in air;

burst in air in war,

war for freedom.

Freedom from sacrifice,

sacrifice of blood,

young blood spilt,

paid the cost.

Price paid in blood,

blood spent,

liberty for you,

a man gave his life.

Life lost for love,

love of country,

land of free,

paid by the brave.

Sparks in air for fun,

reminder of men,

brave lives gone.

Patriot loss,

patriot pride.
