The stars rain from above,
Red, blue, and white
Across our land.
From forefathers 
To forefathers
The celebration is grand.

It will be brighter
This year
With you by my side.
It will be bigger
This year
Sharing America’s pride.

We believe more,
We cherish what we have.
We are more thankful
For firemen,
And pilots, and a crew
That gave up their lives
So July 4th could be celebrated
By me and with you.
