Fireworks
Shall I tell it again how we started as friends
Who would run into one another now and again
At the Yippee Cai O, or the Mesa Dupree
Or a dozen different everyday places to be
I was loping along living alone
We were ever so brave on the telephone
Would you care to come down for fireworks time?
We could each just reach
We step out of line
And the smell of the smoke, and the lay of the land
And the feeling of finding one's heart in ones hand
And the tiny tin voice of the radio band singing
Love must stand
Love forever and ever must stand
Unbelievable you, impossible me
The fool who fell out of the family tree
The fellow that found the philosopher's stone
Deep underground like a dinosaur bone
Who fell into you at a quarter to two
With a tear in your eye for the Fourth of July
For the patriots and the minutemen
And the things you believe they believed in then
Such as freedom, and freedom's land
And the kingdom of God and the rights of man
With the tiny tin voice of the radio band
Singing love must stand
Love forever and ever must stand
And forever must stand
Oh the smell of the smoke as we lay on the land
And the feeling of finding my heart in my hand
With the tiny tin voice of the radio band
Singing love must stand
Love forever and ever must stand
All on the Fourth of July
On the Fourth of July

On the stairs I smoke a
cigarette alone
Mexican kids are shootin'
fireworks below
Hey baby, it's the Fourth of July
Hey baby, it's the Fourth of July
What ever happened I apologize
so dry your tears and baby
walk outside, it's the Fourth of July.
It's the Fourth of July.

Ever the tease....
These are days that you'll remember
When May is rushing over you
With desire to be part of the miracles
You see in every hour
You'll know it's true
That you are blessed and lucky
It's true that you are touched
By something that will grow and bloom in you
These are days
These are the days you might fill
With laughter until you break
These days you might feel
A shaft of light
Make its way across your face
And when you do
Then you'll know how it was meant to be
See the signs and know their meaning
It's true
Then you'll know how it was meant to be
Hear the signs and know they're speaking
To you, to you
A happy Fourth of July celebration to you, Cass, and to your many blog friends. Stay safe.

Happy Fourth.
I love living here in the South, where this isn't
just a day off to have some really good food and fireworks, but a feast day to celebrate freedom.
Thank you to God and the Founders. A group of people can do anything as long as God is part of it.
Ben Franklin taught me that.
