• I miss the fireworks that shine every year,
    Happy Independence Day to all who've shed a tear.
    I've been told many stories about the struggle to gain freedom,
    Happy Independence Day to all who can remember them.
    I've heard the wind blowing through the trees,
    Happy Independence Day to all who've listened to these.
    I've read of the past when victory was found,
    Happy Independence Day to a world that is round.
