Sandi Patty - The Star Spangled Banner (Long Version) Lyrics

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 bring stars
Through the perilous fight
O'er the ramparts we watching
Were so gallantly streaming
And the rockets red glare
The bombs bursting in air
Gave prove 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
And still we can see
As the years have gone by
There's a dream in our land
Like a flame that keeps burning
And the lantern of hope
From the harbor still shines
Those who seek freedom's dream
To its light are still turning
Now we look to the stars
And we lift up our eyes
For we know with the dawn
We will see our Flag rise
And this is our spangled
Banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free
And the home of the brave
America!
My Home!
America!
(And this is our Star-Spangled
Banner unfurled
As a light to the free
and a hope to the world!)
