Bombs Bursting in Air
A 4th of July Tribute
On the battlefield
So long in the past
Our freedom frighters stood
Against each murderous blast!
They held their ground
Young and old alike
Till the battle was won
Until the last strike!
Our freedom was won
By our forefathers blood
George Washington lead them
Through rain, snow and mud!
So many battles
Across our vast land
Till England understood
Our unyielding demand!
On the 4th of July
At the rockets red glare
May the fireworks proclaim USA
The greatest land anywhere!
