Summertime Fireworks and Old Glory
Honoring the Tradition of Independence Day in America
It comes around every year when the weather is hot
It is commemorated, anticipated and enjoyed by a lot
Hot food, loud music, and soda pop is consumed
Being upbeat, waving the flag and patriotism is assumed
Watching the colors burning brightly in the sky at night
We can thank our forefathers courage for putting up a fight
All they wanted was freedom from the king's reign
Even though they knew it would cause them much pain
Now we sit smugly and take our freedom for granted
But on the fourth of July our viewpoint is slanted
We celebrate our democracy and all that it means
God bless America, hot dogs, and baked beans
