(Verse 1)
The barbecue is smokin’ in the backyard heat
Kids are runnin’ barefoot down the summer street
Red, white, and blue hangin’ from the old front porch
While grandpa tells his stories ’bout the freedom torch
(Chorus)
This is our day, the Fourth of July
When we remember those who gave their lives
For the land of the free and the home of the brave
We’re thankful for the price that our patriots paid
Stars and stripes forever, flying high
God bless America on the Fourth of July
(Verse 2)
From Lexington to Gettysburg, they stood their ground
Through Valley Forge and D-Day, freedom’s battle sound
Every generation answered when their country called
So we could gather here today, united, standing tall
(Chorus)
This is our day, the Fourth of July
When we remember those who gave their lives
For the land of the free and the home of the brave
We’re thankful for the price that our patriots paid
Stars and stripes forever, flying high
God bless America on the Fourth of July
(Bridge)
When the fireworks light up the sky tonight
We’ll see their faces in that brilliant light
From sea to shining sea, their legacy lives on
In every heart that beats for freedom’s song
(Final Chorus)
This is our day, the Fourth of July
When we remember those who gave their lives
For the land of the free and the home of the brave
We’re thankful for the price that our patriots paid
Stars and stripes forever, flying high
God bless America on the Fourth of July
God bless America on the Fourth of July
