Fourth of July
Lyrics
The
words ‘Fourth of July’ ring in
bittersweet memories and deep regard
in the hearts of the millions of
Americans, for, this is the day
closest to their beings and reigns
supreme in their minds and soul like
no other patriotic holiday in the US
calendar. The reasons are not far to
seek. 4th of July marks their
Independence Day—the day when
America got its freedom from British
domination. This huge occasion has
sparked off some very powerful lines
and fervent patriotic songs through
decades in the history of America.
This Fourth of July, it’s worth
sparing a few moments to know or
read these songs that are replete in
the spirit of freedom, in the spirit
of oneness and in the spirit of
America as a proud nation. Check out
the Fourth of July lyrics:
America The Beautiful
A patriotic song which can parallel
the national anthem of the United
States (‘The Star-Spangled Banner’)
in terms of popularity.
Lyrics
Oh beautiful, for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
America! America! God shed his grace
on thee,
And crown thy good with brotherhood,
from sea to shining sea.
Oh beautiful, for pilgrims' feet
Whose stern, impassioned stress
A thoroughfare for freedom beat
Across the wilderness!
America! America! God mend thine
ev'ry flaw;
Confirm thy soul in self control,
thy liberty in law!
Oh beautiful, for heroes proved
In liberating strife,
Who more than self their country
loved
And mercy more than life!
America! America! May God thy gold
refine,
'Til all success be nobleness, and
ev'ry gain divine!
Oh beautiful, for patriot's dream
That sees beyond the years!
Thine alabaster cities gleam
Undimmed by human tears!
America! America! God shed his grace
on thee,
And crown thy good with brotherhood,
from sea to shining sea!
God Bless America
Another very popular American
patriotic song written by Irving
Berlin in 1918 and revised by him in
1938. It’s also sometimes considered
a national anthem of US, though
unofficially.
