can somone give me a rewrite of the star spangled banner in their own words?

Answer 1

Why? There is nothing wrong with the way it is written.

Answer 2

O 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
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?


On the shore dimly seen thro' 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 on the stream:
'Tis the star-spangled banner: O, long may it wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!


And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion,
A home and a country should leave us no more?
Their blood has wash'd out their foul footsteps' pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
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 free-men shall stand
Between their lov'd home 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 a nation!
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: “In God is our trust!”
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!



On Sept. 13, 1814, Francis Scott Key

Answer 3

There was a movie that made a joke about it, saying that the whole thing is really just two questions. Can you see the flag? Is it still waving? I'd add a third question: who had the bright idea of picking a national anthem that's so hard to sing you need to be a professional to do it?

Answer 4

Here's the first verse:

Now that the sun's coming up can you see the thing we were looking at with pride as the sun was setting last night?

There was dangerous fighting going on but we looked out from behind barriers and saw its broad stripes and bright stars shining.

Even after it got dark there were bright red bombs exploding overhead and the light from them helped us see that our flag was still flying.

So tell me now that morning has come if the flag is still waving over this land where free, brave people live.

Then you pause and yell "play ball".

Answer 5

Hey wow, can you see in the light of breaking day
that which we greeted so truimphantly last evening
its wide stripes and shining stars
were proudly streaming through the frightening battle
as we watched over the barricades

yeah, if this is your hw, i'm not going to do the rest for you. however, check out thesaurus.reference.com

also, you could translate it into spanish and back again, because the faulty translator will simplify the sentence structure and maybe give you ideas for vocabulary. try freetranslation.com or babelfish.com. or translate into french or german, but stick to romance langauges like those.

Answer 6

Hark, Can you see it in the first light of day?
And what do we rightously observe at the ending of night?
Expansive, wide stripes and vivid white stars that survived the hazardous twilight.


that's a start.

Just remember, the song is about the flag... you're singing about the flag...
