[hometext] => Think about what the 4th of July is all about and have a safe and happy holdiay.
[bodytext] => Sun comes up on Independence Day Look around and appreciate Listen for echoes of the dead Far and near the battles raged We shook off the yoke of tyranny When old King George squeezed his colonies We took up arms, cried ‘set us free’ Young men paid with their lives For Freedom has a heavy price Fires burned and blood ran cold But none could doubt such bravery With this in mind we celebrate Precious freedom our forefathers earned for us Keep it alive and well for all to see A shining example of what can be When citizens are free to pursue their dreams Speak up and say what’s on your mind Get out and vote, participate Watch for Freedom’s light to shine Don’t stand quietly by when corruption Tries to tarnish Freedom’s glow Shout ‘No’ and make a stand To protect Freedom and keep her strong Nurtured through so many wars So many lives were sacrificed To keep this precious hope alive That one day all the world will be free.
