Oh say, can you see
By the dawn’s early light
What so proudly we hailed
At the twilight’s last gleaming?

Oh beautiful, for spacious skies
For amber waves of grain
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain

From the lakes of Minnesota
To the hills of Tennessee
Across the plains of Texas
From sea to shining sea

From Detroit down to Houston
And New York to LA
Well there’s pride in every American heart
And it’s time we stand and say

God bless America, land that I love
America, America, God shed His grace on thee
Stand beside Her and guide Her
From sea to shining sea

I’m proud to be an American
Where at least I know I’m free
And I won’t forget the men who died, who gave that right to me
And I’d gladly stand up next to you and defend Her still today
‘Cause there ain’t no doubt
I love this land

And thy rocket’s red glare
Thy bombs bursting in air
Gave proof through the night
That out 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?
