Oh say can you see, by the dawns early light
What so proudly we hailed at the twilights last gleaming
Whose broad Stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight
Oh the RamParts we watched were so gallantly streaming
And the Rockets red glare, the bombs bursting in air
Gave Proof through 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
