On one July Fourth many years past
A new nation began, proud votes were cast
Our Continental Congress risked all
With the birth of this country their call
In Philadelphia this took place
Independence declared, first war to face
The United States embarked that day
On a journey to last all this way
Through many trials this journey has gone
With strong trust in God from dawn to dawn
From our first war to our war today
Patriots have fought for freedom’s way
Many giving their lives for this cause
Treasure your freedom, solemnly pause
Always pray for those brave who protect
They so need this along with respect
