(Verse 1)
There’s a flag flying high on Main Street tonight
As the town square's buzzing in the fading light
Kids running around with sparklers in their hands
Waiting on the fireworks and the marching band
Families unfold their lawn chairs in the grass
Talking about the good times and the years gone past
Old Glory’s dancing gently in the summer breeze
And tonight we’re all together making memories
(Pre-Chorus)
The night’s about to light up
Like it’s never done before
Everybody’s looking skyward
Waiting for the sky to roar
(cinematic boom)
(Chorus)
Happy Birthday, USA
Let the fireworks light the sky
Here’s to all the dreams you’ve witnessed
Through the years gone by
From the ones who came before us
To the ones who’ll find their way
Raise a glass and raise your flag
Happy Birthday, USA
(Verse 2)
Grandpa’s telling stories that he’s told a hundred times
And the little ones are listening with wonder in their eyes
Some wore a uniform and some worked fields and factories
Some built roads and raised families on streets just like these
Different lives and different stories brought us to this place
And tonight we stand together giving thanks for what they gave
From the ones who built this country to the ones who serve today
Tonight we raise a toast to them and we celebrate
(Pre-Chorus)
The night’s about to light up
Like it’s never done before
Everybody’s looking skyward
Waiting for the sky to roar
(cinematic boom)
(Chorus)
Happy Birthday, USA
Let the fireworks light the sky
Here’s to all the dreams you’ve witnessed
Through the years gone by
From the ones who came before us
To the ones who’ll find their way
Raise a glass and raise your flag
Happy Birthday, USA
(Bridge)
One day these kids will tell their children
About the summer of ‘26
And how they stood and watched the fireworks
As history was being lit
And they’ll tell them we were grateful
For the freedom we still claim
And proud to leave them something worth
Passing on again
(Final Chorus)
Happy Birthday, USA
Let the fireworks light the sky
Here’s to all the dreams you’ve witnessed
Through the years gone by
From the ones who came before us
To the ones who’ll find their way
Raise a glass and raise your flag
Happy Birthday, USA
(fireworks exploding)
