Happy Independence Day to our American friends… :)
Oh my love
It’s a long way we’ve come
From the freckled hills
To the steel and glass canyons
From the stony fields
To hanging steel from skies
From diggin’ in our pockets
For a reason not to say goodbyeThese are the hands that build America
AmericaLast saw your face
In a watercolored sky
As sea birds argue
A long goodbye
I took your kiss
On the spray of the new lined star
You gotta live in your dreams
Don’t make them so hardAnd these are the hands that built America
AmericaOf all of the promises
Is this one we can keep?
Of all of the dreams
Is this one still out of reach?Its early fall
There’s a cloud on the New York skyline
Innocence dragged across a yellow lineThese are the hands that built America
These are the hands that built AmericaOhhhhh Sgt. that was so sweet of you to remember us. ( Said in her most sweetest Southern drawl) You are such a thoughtful man in many ways and a great friend.
Sending my best wishes out as well on this day.
Many’s the time I’ve been mistaken
And many times confused
Yes and I’ve often felt forsaken
And certainly misused
Oh, but I’m alright, I’m alright
I’m just weary to my bones
Still, you don’t expect to be
Bright and bon vivant
So far away from home, so far away from homeAnd I don’t know a soul who’s not been battered
I don’t have a friend who feels at ease
I don’t know a dream that’s not been shattered
Or driven to its knees
Oh, but it’s alright, it’s alright
For we’ve lived so well so long
Still, when I think of the
Road we’re traveling on
I wonder what’s gone wrong
I can’t help but wonder what’s gone wrongAnd I dreamed I was dying
I dreamed that my soul rose unexpectedly
And looking back down at me
Smiled reassuringly
And I dreamed I was flying
And high up above my eyes could clearly see
The Statue of Liberty
Sailing away to sea
And I dreamed I was flyingOh we come on the ship they call the Mayflower
We come on the ship that sailed the moon
We come in the age’s most uncertain hours
And sing an American tune
Oh, and it’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright
You can’t be forever blessed
Still, tomorrow’s going to be another working day
And I’m trying to get some rest
That’s all I’m trying to get some restY’know, if it wasn’t for the bloody French….. !!! At least we burnt the White House down.

We should have a UK day – 22nd July, to commemorate the Treaty of Union between England and Scotland on that day in 1706 – the birth of the United Kingdom, when our island became one nation for the first time.
