May the parades emerge across the land
with flags, clowns, and marching bands.
May the children’s smiles appear as bright,
as the fireworks that light the night.
May the cookouts fill each memory,
with love from friends and family.
May the hours spent at the lake,
help create a bond that will not break.
May those who attend a baseball game,
stand together without shame,
with hand on heart and misty-eyed,
the Anthem song sung with endless pride.
May all citizens drop to their knees,
to send a prayer across the seas,
for those who stand on guard for thee,
protecting our land of liberty.
May all America unite as one,
on this day of nonstop fun.
But let’s take the time to humbly say,
“Happy Birthday, USA!”
