This is America

When the downtown traffic light turned red

People stopped to wait for a float painted white

That carried veterans in uniforms notably blue

 

Just as the soldiers past the sky turned a dark blue

And the sun faded fast that left a stripe blazed in red

Then rose the stars that twinkled in a crystal white

 

As the night moved on sparklers shined white

Fireworks lit up the sky in orange, yellow and blue

Only to end the show in different shades of red

 

This is America in red, white and blue
