Happy Birthday America

Happy Birthday America
how proud we are of you,
We'll wave your flag of colors 
bright red, white and blue.

Our country is a beauty
from sea to shining sea,
With mountains, lakes and rivers
a gorgeous landscaped potpourri. 

We live our lives in freedom
for some the price was high,
Let's appreciate the sacrifice
remember those who died.

Tonight, when the bands play
and fireworks explode in the sky,
Say thank you for our freedom
and salute the flag with pride.
