I was just a young boy,
when I first saw the lights in the sky.
And Mama told me how,
everybody came out in the town.
To celebrate my day,
big and loud parades,
with colours spinning up and down,
wide Eyes plastered all around.
The Flag was waving High,
the lights were shining right behind it.
My Mama looked me in the eye and said,
this is for you my son,
Born on the 4th of July.
Born on the 4th of July.
Flags waving high,
colours spinning up and down,
wide eyes and smiles all around.
Independence day.
Big and loud parades,
bright colours bursting into the sky,
weāre all born on the 4th of July
Growing up and school,
where they told the rules.
But I saw what was cruel,
and made a stand for the truth.
Put in a place I did not belong,
deciding on what was right and was wrong.
Taking lives to protect my own,
the battle raged on and on.
The Flag was waving High,
the lights were shining right behind it.
I could hear my Mama crying,
protect yourself my son,
on this 4th of July.
On this 4th of July.
Flags waving high,
colours spinning up and down,
wide eyes and smiles all around.
Independence day.
Big and loud parades,
bright colors bursting into the sky,
weāre all born on the 4th of July
Men and boys, who lost their lives
the ones that lived that wished they died.
Ideas of, a world thatās free
Where people live in harmony
So letās protest for Liberty.
Iām talking bout you and me,
If we donāt itās the end you see
Inst Breakā¦.
Come home a full body man,
who really needs to stand
I got my arms and hands.
Iāll make do w/what I can
And now I fall in line,
As we march on by.
And in my mind, I see my Mama
w/my family right behind
as she puts her hand in mine.
The Flag was waving High,
the lights were shining right behind it.
My Mama looked me in the eye and said,
Iām Proud of You My Son
Born on the 4th of July.
Born on the 4th of July.
Flags waving high,
colours spinning up and down,
wide eyes and smiles all around.

This is a little bit into the way i go about writing a song and how it changes with each evolved version. I feel this a very good song saluting everybody who has ever, and still protects the USA and for those who have died following blindly not realizing and thinking if they were doing the right thing...... Give them a listen and hear the Evolution, LOL....
V1 - solo voice and picking an acoustic guitar
V2 - solo voice and strumming guitar
V3 - solo voice, strumming guitar, bass, bongos and shakers
V4 - solo voice, strumming guitar, bass, 2 keybds. and a banjo
V5 - solo voice, strumming guitar, bass, bongos, shakers, 2 keybds. and a banjo
V6 - solo voice, strumming guitar, bass, 2 keybds, banjo and the sounds of 4th of July
released October 24, 2023
An Honor Song to Everybody Who Has Ever and Protects The USA and for Those Who have Died Following Blindly Not Realizing and Thinking They Were Doing the Right Thing.......
inspired by the cover of the DVD by the same name of the song......
It is a Gift From God and an Honor to be able to write any song but to write āBorn on the 4th of Julyā at first was for the All the Service Men and Women Heroes that fought to keep America safe in the past as well as for All the Service Men and Women Heroes who still continually put their lives on the line to keep America safe, but now with the days we are having this song is also for those who put their lives on the line keeping America safe from the inside.
So Pray, Think Peace and Hope of how can We help those who have less then we do.
