Oh, say, can you see, by the dawn`s early light,
What so proudly we hail`d 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 rockets` red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof thro` the night that our flag was still there.
O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave

From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave:
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
O`er the land of the free and the home of the brave.
O, thus be it ever when freemen shall stand,
Between their lov`d homes and the war`s desolation;
Blest with vict`ry and peace, may the heav`n-rescued land
Praise the pow`r that hath made and preserv`d us as a nation!
Then conquer we must, when our cause is just,
And this be our motto: `in god is our trust`
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wa Send " Star Spangled Banner" Ringtone to your Cell
