ACROSS A DARKENED SKY<\/em><\/font>

\nFireworks flash <\/em><\/font>
across a darkened sky,<\/em><\/font>
streaking points of brilliance<\/em><\/font>
on here another Fourth of July.<\/em><\/font>
Our flag proudly waving<\/em><\/font>
with honor and pride,<\/em><\/font>
we have so many to thank<\/em><\/font>
for our freedoms on this day,<\/em><\/font>
our voices rising above<\/em><\/font>
the din and the strife<\/em><\/font>
as we celebrate today<\/em><\/font>
our independence,<\/em><\/font>
our nation’s birth.<\/em><\/font>

\nAnd with our song<\/em><\/font>
of freedom and pride<\/em><\/font>
go our hopes <\/em><\/font>
and our prayers for peace<\/em><\/font>
for once and for all,<\/em><\/font>
for each one of us <\/em><\/font>
and for generations to come,<\/em><\/font>
that peace may prevail<\/em><\/font>
within the hearts and minds<\/em><\/font>
of everyone and everywhere<\/em><\/font>
as exploding points of brilliance<\/em><\/font>
illuminate the darkness<\/em><\/font>,
and fireworks boldly streak <\/em><\/font>
across this nighttime sky.<\/em><\/font>
