Such quest for freedom, rose one fourth
Declared and signed, they held their court

A nation formed, of thirteen states
A war ensued, to seal their fate

Today we know, who passed that test
This country won, we fought the best

Great wars have tested us since then
And how we've prayed, God find an end

We've had to deal with questions hard
To free us all, means no one barred

Our flag of Stars and Stripes has grown
Old Glory - stars of fifty sewn

Let's celebrate how far we've come
And think of where this all came from

For as we watch and hear this day
The light and noise of war, just play
