Happy Birthday America Kids Song Lyrics:

Happy Birthday America

Land of the free

Hand in hand

We all celebrate

From sea to shinning sea!

I pledge allegiance to

My country

And I'll tell you why

Independence Day

Was born

The fourth of July

In 1776

There was a declaration

The fathers of America

Proclaimed "We are

A nation!"

Happy Birthday

America!

Land of the free

Hand in hand we

All celebrate

From sea to shinning sea

On this day we celebrate

So many things to do

Marching bands and people

Waving flags for me & you

Families gather all around

For picnics and to play

BBQ's and fireworks

Complete this special day

Happy Birthday

America!

Land of the free

Hand in hand we

All celebrate

We stand on guard

For thee

Hand in Hand

We all celebrate

From sea to shinning sea!
