Analysis of Happy Birthday USA ( I am grateful )

Tom Kennedy

The Ruling Houses no longer rule
As the common man races toward democracy
The USA has lead the way...
Where individual dignity rights above the states
But to hold on to our forefathers sacrifice and vision,
Requires hard work, fairness, justice and no derision.
The world today is anxious confused and tipping toward war                       Now God don't be too harsh on your children's written score.
As GOod men throughout the world fight evil again...
And like you, I want love and trust and your peace love and joy.
i hope we raise our moral standards again for all to see...
So the world will know again we are the home of faith, hope and liberty.
