the star-spangled banner

Sandi Patty

Oh, say, can you see, by the dawn's early light
What so proudly we hail'd at the twilight's last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thro' the perilous fight
O'er the ramparts we watch'd, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air
Gave proof thro' the night that our flag was still there
Oh, say, does that Star-Spangled Banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

And still we can see as the years have gone by
There's a dream in our land, like the flame that is burning
And the lantern of hope from the harbor still shines
Those who seek free domsââ?¬â?¢ dreams to it's light are still turning
Now we look to the skies and we lift up our eyes
For we know with the dawn we will see our flag rise!
And this is our Star-Spangled Banner unfurled
As a sight to the free, and a hope to the world!

Oh, say, does that Star-Spangled Banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

America!
America!
America!
America, my home!
America!
