4th of July Song (Born to Rise 🇺🇸)

[Verse 1] Fireworks bloom Over fields of gold We were raised on freedom And stories they told He takes my hand As the anthem plays Says, “This land’s been through hell, But it still finds a way” Boys in trucks with their radios loud Girls in red lips and hand-me-down crowns Maybe we’re broken, maybe we try But we still light up that summer sky Don’t we? (....don't we?) [Chorus] Let freedom ring Let the stars ignite We still believe In that kind of light Happy birthday, battle-scarred You wear your stripes like works of art Born to dream, born to rise On the Fourth of July [Verse 2] The grill’s gone cold But the stories burn Old men toast To the lessons learned Mama sings With a bourbon grin Says, “You don’t have to be perfect To let the good in” We’ve made mistakes, and paid the price But we still chase hope through fireflies A flag can wave in darker winds And still be something worth believing in (Believing in) [Chorus] Let freedom ring Let the night unfold From sea to shining, quiet gold Happy birthday, wild and worn From canyon dust to oceans torn Born to fight, born to shine On the Fourth of July [Bridge] Red, white, and truth A little bruised But love runs deep Through all we lose One nation, still standing tall Even with cracks In the marble halls [Final Chorus] Let freedom ring Let the chorus swell This is home And we know it well Happy birthday, sweet terrain We sing your joy, we bear your pain Born to love, born to try On the Fourth of July (Fourth of July!) [Outro] Light me up Like the sky tonight Born for this Born to shine Born to shine!
