Happy Birthday Usa
Happy birthday USA!
From your birth until today,
You have come a long, long way.
Two hundred forty-five years ago,
The U.S. was birthed in rebellion's pride,
Declaring independency from King George's rule.
Freedom from tyranny would not be denied.
From thirteen states we have grown to fifty,
Through extensive exploration,
Battles fought, purchases,
And fierce determination.
Through the years we became
A leader among the nations.
We've been a beacon of hope,
To those filled with desperation.
I pray that we will stay the course,
Of freedom and justice for all.
May God continue to bless this land,
Because without Him we will fall.
Happy birthday, USA!
May God give us wisdom to guide our way,
And forgive us when we go astray.
