Beneath a sky of sapphire hue,
Where stars await their nightly cue,
The Fourth of July awakens bright,
A symphony of freedom’s light.

The dawn unfurls her crimson bars,
To greet the stripes and blazing stars,
Each flag that waves o’er fields and streams,
Carries the weight of sacred dreams.

From purple mountains’ majesty,
To amber waves of grain we see,
This land, so vast, so fiercely free,
Sings liberty’s eternity.

The spark of flint, the cannon’s roar,
Echoes of those who came before—
Their courage lit the torch we bear,
A flame of hope through trials’ glare.

In city streets and country vales,
The heart of freedom never fails,
With picnics spread and anthems sung,
By voices old and voices young.

The fireworks bloom in radiant art,
A mirror of the patriot’s heart—
Red, white, and blue, they soar and gleam,
Illuminating every dream.

From Bunker Hill to distant shores,
Through open hearts and open doors,
We stand as one, though many made,
United in the plans they laid.

O glorious day, O sacred night,
When freedom’s spark became our light,
We celebrate with joy and pride,
The Fourth of July, our nation’s guide.

Let every soul, from sea to sea,
Rejoice in truth and liberty,
For on this day, our spirits soar,
America, forevermore.
