> > **Real Lyrics**: Oh, 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 thru the perilous fight, > O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming? > And the rocket's 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? > > On the shore, dimly seen through the mists of 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!

 * 12) This was a huge victory for The United States. People were very happy to see that the "flag was still there."

Whose broad stripes and bright stars did we see through the dangerous fight? Over the defensive walls what did we see? The rockets were flying, and bombs were bursting in air. When the battle was over, the flag was still there. The flag still waves over the land of the free and the home of the brave.
 * My Lyrics**: In the morning we remember the battle we watched the night before.

On the shore that is hard to see through the mist; Where the enemies noble leader remained silenced. What is that swaying in the breeze over the large hill? As it restlessly blows, one part disappears as the other appears. Now it catches the suns light, In full beauty, new radiance in the flow of light. It is the Star Spangled Banner, long may it wave. Over the land of the free and the home of the brave.
