 But brother fighting brother's not the way it's meant to be. If they can keep it all together, now they're gonna keep you free from your mountains to the shore. So let us boast once more to Independence Day and drink to a thousand more. Oh, in glory and blood you were battle-born. Your pride's been tattered, your flag's been torn, but you're still a Yankee Doodle Dandy character. Happy birthday, America!
