Nation's Birthday

Hours and hours we waited, to feast
To fill ourselves too fast to satisfy
Oh the laughs, the applause of appreciation
Leaves us tired andfading quietly

But every moment in this cramped up line
Sweaty heads against soft shoulders
This is just a sign that we're all getting closer
Distance pulled us in the middle

And then we sang, oh we sang our hearts out
Sang until our vocal chords almost ripped themselves
It's funny, how these people could sing shameless
Honesty come again, the noise leaving our door was unpleasant

And we can go home to different faces and tell our stories
Stories of seemingly incompletely complete days
Total and utter joy found from the sore eyes we set
This is where we come from, oh joyous nation
