Relax Get away from it all No solution seems to last It's a holiday Wear a smile Put on a celebration mask Take off Leave a trail Let the children wave their sparklers to the sky It's a holiday But if the fuses get too short they won't ask why They won't ask why If you hover above your enemies And you're ready to send your aluminum boxes down It's a holiday Send the soldiers on a one-way weekend pass There's a field of blue in my memory But the stars reform and the stripes begin to fade For the holiday When the world turns Independence Day at last At last My country 'tis of thee Sweet land of liberty Of thee I sing Land where my fathers' died Land of the pilgrims' pride From every mountainside Let freedom ring Let freedom ring Let it ring Let it ring
