[Verse 1]
Two hundred fifty years
Of banners in the wind
Porch steps, sparkler hands
And neighbors singing in
The block is dressed in red
Blue ribbon on the gate
Kids run through the grass
Till the whole sky starts to shake
[Pre-Chorus]
Raise it up, raise it up
Let the whole town sing
From the river to the coast
Hear the summer ring
[Chorus]
Happy 4th of July
Happy 4th of July
Red, white, and shine
We light up the night
Happy 4th of July
Happy 4th of July
Two-fifty in the air
And we’re still singing loud
[Verse 2]
Paper plates and peach pie
On a folding table line
Auntie saves the first seat
For the uncle with the rhyme
Driveway drum of sneakers
Fireflies in the yard
Every face looks brighter
When the whole world goes hard
[Pre-Chorus]
Raise it up, raise it up
Let the whole town sing
From the river to the coast
Hear the summer ring
[Chorus]
Happy 4th of July
Happy 4th of July
Red, white, and shine
We light up the night
Happy 4th of July
Happy 4th of July
Two-fifty in the air
And we’re still singing loud
[Bridge]
All around this land
Different voices, same hand
Hold it close tonight
Let it glow, let it stand
[Final Chorus]
Happy 4th of July
Happy 4th of July
Red, white, and shine
We light up the night
Happy 4th of July
Happy 4th of July
Two-fifty in the air
And we’re still singing loud
