Lyrics to SSB
 * oh, say can you see by the dawn's earlylight
 * What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming
 * Whose broad stripes and bright starsthru 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 fifully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
 * Now it catches the gleamof 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!

Your interpretation
 * Look at the sun while it rises.
 * We proudly called out at the last light between sunset and full night.
 * Whose wide stripes and bright stars through the dangerous fight.
 * over the barrier we watched were so splendidly streaming.
 * The rockets intense red light, the bombs exploding in the air.
 * Made it possible to see the flag through the night sky.
 * Does the American flag still wave.
 * Over a place of freedom and the home of heroes.


 * On the shore you can barely see threw the heavy fog.
 * where the enemy's proud host in dead silence peacefully,
 * what is it called when the breeze is over the very tall structure.
 * As it restlessly blows, half of it hides, half of it is revealed?
 * Now it catches a bit of light of the morning.
 * In full glory reflected now shines in the stream
 * Tis the star spangled banner! Oh continue to wave
 * Over a place of freedom and home of heroes.
