Firecrackers

Fiery flashes fill the sky
Into the air rise the rockets
Reaching for the stars
Everywhere you look are dazzling colors
Crash,bang,boom go the firecrackers
Remembering all those you help gave us our freedom
All around people are celebrating Independence Day
Come and celebrate with us
Keep those flags flying high
Everywhere you go you see fireworks filling the night sky then
Rushing to the ground like raindrops gently falling
So ends another wonderful Independence Day,with a bang
