Do you know the words to our National Anthem?

Question

for the United States of America?

I asked this question,,because as a PATRIOT of this great country(born and raised here),,was just wondering,how many sing along with this song at sporting events!

Answer 1

yes
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
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:
'T is 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 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. 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!

Answer 2

Yes I do know the words... (at least the part that people these days know)... there are about 5 verses to the actual Star Spangled Banner and we only sing the first one... :)

At every sporting event, I'm usually the one sitting in the stands belting the song out! For local sports events I have sung the national anthem on the court/rink/field as well!

Answer 3

Oh say can you see By the dawns early light
What so proudly 's we hailed at the twilights last gleaming
Whos broad stripes and bright stars
Through the perilous fight.
Oer the ramparts we watched
Were so galantly streaming

And the rockets red glare
the bombs bursting in air
came proof through the night
that our flag was still there

Oh say does that star spangled
banner yet wave
Oer the land of the free
and the home of the brave

Answer 4

Oh say can you see,
by the dawn's early light
what so proudly we shared
at the twilights last gleaming
whose broad stripes and bright stars
through the perilous fight
over the ramparts we watched
were so galantly streaming
and the rockets red glare
the bombs bursting in air
gave proof through the night
that the flag was still there
oh say does that star spangled banner yet wave
over the land of the free
and the home of the brave


Is that close? I didn't look it up! Promise. : )

Answer 5

O 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 bright stars, through the perilous fight
O’er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets’ red glare, the bombs bursting in air
Gave proof through 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?
