National Athem

Frances Scott Key (an American held prisoner on a British ship) used the music from a drinking song to describe a sea to land battle (the British were attacking an American Fort using ships) during the war of 1812. It is a very very long song and I've never heard anybody sing it all the way through. It includes the fairly important "And this be our motto--'In God Is Our Trust.'"

The Star-Spangled Banner” is the national anthem of the United States of America, with lyrics written in 1814 by Francis Scott Key. Key, a 35-year-old lawyer and amateur poet, wrote them as a poem after witnessing the bombardment of Fort McHenry in Baltimore, Maryland, by British ships in Chesapeake Bay during the War of 1812.

That doesn't make any sense. Add more detail to it and I'll answer it for you.
