NOT JUST ANOTHER DAY

It is Independence Day

Not just another day

Not just a holiday

Not just another day off with pay

It is the Fourth of July

A day fireworks light the sky

Chickens roast and hamburgers fry

People cheer as the parade goes by

I, myself, hold this day in awe

Thinking of the celebration our forefathers saw

They rejected tyranny, t'was the final straw

They stood their ground and set their jaw

On this day the ghosts of rebellion stand by

Silently praying the revelers who watch the sky

Understand that for freedom some patriots died

This day of celebration is for American pride
