The Fourth of July has come along
A reminder of what makes us strong
There are some who take it for granted
This right of privilege we have been handed
Because this nation was founded by leaders
Who wanted their citizens to be firm believers
That they could live their lives without hunger or war
And have the chance to take their dreams far
So as we watch the star-spangle banner sway
With the summer wind
We can’t help but to smile today
That this is where freedom begins
That the Fourth of July
Is not just another holiday
Instead it is a symbol of sacrifice
And it will never give up the fight
Because the United States of America
Is a country that is full of American pride
