Any one have any big plains?
I got plains! Big fruited plains! I also got Purple Mountain Majesties and Amber Waves of Grain!
Ooh! There's gonna be fireworks }} Fireworks!
On the Fourth of July. }} Red, white and blue!
Red white and blue fireworks,
Like diamonds in the sky. }} Diamonds in the sky!
We're gonna shoot the entire works
On fireworks that really show, oh yeah...
We declared our liberty so many years ago.
In 1776 }} Fireworks!
There were fireworks too }} Red, white and blue!
The original colonists,
You know their tempers blew. }} They really blew!
Like Thomas Paine once wrote,
It's only common sense }} Only common sense!
That if a government won't give you
Your basic rights,
You'd better get another government.
And though some people tried to fight it,
Well a committee was formed to write it:
Benjamin Franklin, Philip Livingston,
John Adams, Roger Sherman, Thomas Jefferson.
They got it done... }} Oh yes they did!
The Declaration. Uh huh!
The Declaration of Independence, }} Oh yeah!
In seventeen hundred seventy six. }} Right on!
The Continental Congress said that
We were free.
They said we had the right of life and liberty...
{And the pursuit of happiness.}
*NEVER* forget the Pursuit of Happiness!
Have a Happy 4th of July, wherever you are....even if you aren't American, I think this is a time for considering what you love about the land you live in. Enjoy!
