Our "fight song" isn't Politically Correct at all!
The Star Spangled Banner
O say, can you see by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hailed 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,
bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof thro' the night that our flag was still
there!
O say, does that star spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free,
And the home of the brave?
On the shore dimly seen thro' the mist o'er the deep,
Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering
steep,
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam,
In full glory reflected, now shines in the stream;
'Tis the star spangled banner! oh! long may it wave
O'er the land of the free,
And the home of the brave.
Oh, thus be it ever, When freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and the war's desolation;
Blest with vict'ry and peace,
May the heaven-rescued land
Praise the power that has made and preserved us a
nation!
Then, conquer, we must,
for our cause it is just,
And this be our motto:
"In God is our trust."
And the star spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free,
And the home of the brave.
