clouds send a message

There was a strange cloud in the sky today It just hovered alone on a clear blue day It was the fifth of July in the early afternoon Looked kind of like an exploded water balloon Maybe a reminder of a fireworks display That ended at midnight on the previous day Or could be a message for any and all That memories of yesterday we'll soon recall We celebrate the fourth with cheers and parades Flag waving, rodeos and picnics with lemonade A day to show our country how much we love it here But the next, like a cloud, our zest will disappear Our country is special and we must preserve it now The government needs our strength to show them how It is truly God's country we built our lives on Wave our flag proudly every day from now on
