See the sun pierce through the clouds
Marking the demise of their strength over the town
The parade will be loud, proud and overwhelming
Though I stand tall, right by my Dad and Mom
I hold the flag up high and wave and smile and yell
My thoughts
Drift
To my Uncle in Iraq and his platoon up in Fallujah
Of the fighting near Camp Liberty, Camp Victory
And the fighting in his home
The fight to stay positive
The fight to be strong
The fight to believe
The fight to pray
And not be positive and not be strong and not believe and not pray
And how we call them constantly and send letters so they can
Continue to fight the good fight with my Uncle
And know he will someday be along
To Watch as the Sun pierces through the clouds
And Smile because the gloom has been broken over his home
His homecoming will be loud and proud and overwhelming
For our family
Is where I will stand tall right by my Aunt and Cousins
I Will Hold that Flag up High into the Air and Smile and Yell
And My Thoughts will Cheer for
The Happiest Fourth of July Birthday Ever
