Happy Birthday, Columbia

July: a time for festivity and discovery

lyrics

In 14-hundred-and-92
Columbus sailed the ocean blue
He claimed it for the crown
The paradise he found
What was there to do?

Three hundred years came and went
And on a mission that was heaven sent
We fought for liberty and equality
As long as you could pay the rent

Happy birthday, Columbia
I know you're feeling out of place
Please don't cry for me
Because it's plain to see
The bruise upon your face

Please don't take this oh so personally
Because of rampant Nationality
Which is why things need to change
Fixed and rearranged
Égalité for you and me

Happy birthday, Columbia
