Once Upon a Time
When I thought the world was all mine
So many opportunities in front of me
What would I grow up to be
A doctor, a lawyer, a farmer, a fast-food worker
Off to college I went to find my order
Enjoyed the time I spent at school
Often times getting drunker than a fool
I knew after a while that this was not for me
So I knew then what I would become
For my lifes outcome
The course that I chose as I grew older
Was for me to become a soldier
Happy 4th of July… A beautiful version of this song. Happy Independence Day America…
Upon an ideal a nation was formed
A belief in freedom that would be heard round the world
A declaration was made to say we were a free nation
Declaring our independence from masters across the sea
An idea that all men are created equal
Yes we had our times of injustice along the way
Wrongs were made right as time went by
Along the way other nations have risen and fallen
Countries have changed and many have broken apart
We have stayed and grown
A light in the world to so many we have become
An idea created so long ago
A nation was born
On the 4th day of July we celebrate
With flags flying all around
Fireworks blazing across the skies
From sea to shining sea
A remembrance of what America can be

In honor of Memorial Day, something a bit different. An oldie but a goodie. Very powerful and very meaningful for someone who has spent most of their adult life serving this country that I love. Enjoy.
