On this 4th of July
may you be filled with
Patriotic Spirit!

And I’m proud to be an American,
Where at least I know I’m free.
And I won’t forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.
Lee Greenwood

Hurrah for the sparklers, the flags,
and the bands,
Hurrah for the men and women
who live in this land,
Sing their praises today and every day,
To celebrate the Fourth of July,
Our Independence Day.

The Land of Liberty

I love my country's pine-clad hills,
Her thousand bright and gushing rills,
Her sunshine and her storms;
Her rough and rugged rocks, that rear
Their hoary heads high in the air
In wild, fantastic forms.

I love her rivers, deep and wide,
Those mighty streams that seaward glide
To seek the ocean's breast;
Her smiling fields, her pleasant vales,
Her shady dells, her flow'ry dales,
The haunts of peaceful rest.

I love her forests, dark and lone,
For there the wild bird's merry tone
I hear from morn till night;
And there are lovelier flowers, I ween,
Than e'er in Eastern lands were seen,
In varied colors bright.

Her forests and her valleys fair,
Her flowers that scent the morning air--
All have their charms for me;
But more I love my country's name,
Those words that echo deathless fame,
"The Land of Liberty."

Freedom’s natal day is here.
Fire the guns and shout for freedom,
See the flag above unfurled!
Hail the stars and stripes forever
Dearest flag in all the world.
Florence A. Jones

Freedom only seems to come at a price
A very high one at that;
We must never take it for granted
This democracy is where it is at!
