The Fourth of July

Today's a birthday for our nation:

With fireworks we celebrate

The independence declaration

That our new country did create.

 

So at your family's Bar-B-Q

Please take a moment to reflect

On what our nation offers you,

The freedoms we respect:

 

To vote our leaders in or out

To say whatever's on our mind

To worship as we please, or not,

These freedoms by our blood enshrined.

 

So whether on the left or right

Our differences let's put aside

Today at least let's not lose sight

Of all that keeps us unified.
