The Fourth of July
|
| by Bob Balliet |
| |
It's time again to fly our flag,
With much respect
and pride;
It is our country's birthday,
This
4th day of July!
As we enjoy the fireworks,
The picnics and parades;
Let us reflect on all the
things
That make our country great:
Is it
those rights we cherish,
The freedoms we enjoy;
Equality in law - that's guaranteed
To every girl
and boy?
The answer's YES for most of us
Not all of that I'm sure!
For many in our country
still
Much suffering they endure.
The many
that are hated,
Because they don't fit in;
'cause
they have different customs,
or for the color of
their skin.
Yet, we are all Americans,
From
every walk of life;
Claiming equal and fair treatment
Protection from all strife.
We're in this
land together,
We're brothers, sisters, all;
United
we'll attain great goals,
Divided we shall fall!
So, on our country's birthday,
Let's pledge,
for all to see:
We'll strive to live together,
In peace and harmony!
Our future will be brighter,
God bless us, I do pray.
And, with one voice now
let us sing:
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, USA! |
