Independence Day by Danette Kettwich © 2006 As our country celebrates Independence Day With stripes and stars and bands that play; Do we think about the march against the fray? Do we really appreciate Independence Day? Patriots fought the brutal tyrant's raid They raised the stripes that will not fade Their blood was part of that cost paid So we can celebrate Independence Day. Standing steadfast for their liberty Insisting freedom to worship as they pleased, Resisting a kingdom's bridle, striving to be free They fought persistently for their Independence Day. They established a nation under God Determined to keep controlling tyrants abroad Devoted to flourish on American sod They finally had an Independence Day. Our men have fought and our men have died They have fought to save our nation's pride Some have benefited the whole world wide So they too can have their own Independence Day. Our warriors have and will continue to fight To keep our freedom and our rights Simply knowing we are safe at night Is worth remembering Independence Day. Remember always the sacrifice liberty brings Let our voices of independence boldly ring Freedom as an eagle's ascended wings Thank God in heaven as we pray and sing~ Thank You for our Independence Day! |
