Good morning and happy birthday, USA!
May you be as wise as you are intelligent,
as caring as you are wealthy,
and as humble as you are powerful.
You'd escaped from the old dominion of kings' and queens',
and started with an ideal that binds all citizens,
always rising above the imperfections of human beings
and making your bravery the world's beacon.
Good morning and happy birthday, USA!
May your democracy flourish with quiet reason, not with popular zeal.
May your existence be upheld by kindness and righteousness, not fueled by fear and hatred.
Live and let live,
and never, never succumb to the vanity of the radical.
