Just another day
a day for fireworks
for gathering with friends
a day off work
a day to sit and just do nothing
or is it something more?
a special meaning, hidden by the festivities?
not just another day
but a day of freedom
a day to remember the struggles
a day to remember the blood shed
so you can sit and drink that beer
with all your loved ones surrounding you
and somehow you managed to forget
what your country went through
years ago with you in mind
this independence day don't forget
just what you all came together to remember
lets make a toast to the people
who got us where we are today
and as the final sparks fall
lets make a wish for strength of a country
so our kids and grandkids
can celebrate this day
many years from now
happy independence day
