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 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.
Oh say does that star spangled
Banner yet wave
O’er the land of the free
And the home of the brave?
O, beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain.
America! America!
God shed His grace on thee,
And crown thy good
With brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!
2. O, beautiful for patriot dream
That sees beyond the years,
Thine alabaster cities gleam
Undimmed by human tears.
(Refrain)
My country, 'tis of thee,
Sweet land of liberty,
Of thee I sing;
Land where my fathers died,
Land of the Pilgrim's pride,
From ev'ry mountainside let freedom ring!
This land is your land,
This land is my land,
From California,
To the New York Island,
From the redwood forest,
To the Gulf Stream waters,
This land was made for you and me.
1. As I was walking that
Ribbon of highway,
I saw above me that endless skyway,
I saw below me that golden valley,
This land was made for you and me.
(Chorus)
2. I’ve roamed and rambled,
And I followed my footsteps,
To the sparkling sands of
Her diamond deserts,
And all around me,
A voice was sounding,
This land was made for you and me.
(Chorus)
Here's to the ones that we got
Cheers to the wish you were here, but you're not
'Cause the dreams bring back all the memories of everything we've been through
Toast to the ones here today
Toast to the ones that we lost on the way
'Cause the dreams bring back all the memories
And the memories bring back memories bring back you...
There's a time that I remember, when I did not know no pain
When I believed in forever, and everything would stay the same
Now my heart feel like December, when somebody say your name
'Cause I can't reach out to call you, but I know I will one day, ay
Everybody hurts sometimes, everybody hurts someday, ay-ay
Everything will be alright, go and raise your voice and say, hey
Here's to the ones that we got
Cheers to the wish you were here, but you're not
'Cause the dreams bring back all the memories of everything we've been through
Toast to the ones here today
Toast to the ones that we lost on the way
'Cause the dreams bring back all the memories
And the memories bring back memories bring back you...
Do do, do do do do, do, do do do do
Do do do, do do do do do, do do do
Memories bring back memories, bring back you...
There's a time that I remember, when I never felt so lost
When I felt like all the hatred was too powerful to stop (Ooh, yeah)
Now my heart feel like an ember, and it’s lightin’ up the dark
I’ll carry these torches for ya that you know I’ll never drop, yeah
Everybody hurts sometimes, everybody hurts someday, ay-ay
Everything will be alright, go and raise your voice and say, hey
Here's to the ones that we got
Cheers to the wish you were here, but you're not
'Cause the dreams bring back all the memories of everything we've been through
Toast to the ones here today
Toast to the ones that we lost on the way
'Cause the dreams bring back all the memories
And the memories bring back memories, bring back you...
||: Do do, do do do do, do, do do do do
Do do do, do do do do do, do do do
Memories bring back memories, bring back you :||
1. Yankee Doodle went to town riding on a pony,
Stuck a feather in his hat and called it macaroni.
Yankee Doodle keep it up, Yankee Doodle dandy,
Mind the music and the steps, and with the girls be handy.
2. Father and I went down to camp along with Captain Gooding,
There we saw the men and boys as thick as hasty pudding.
Yankee Doodle keep it up, Yankee Doodle dandy,
Mind the music and the steps, and with the girls be handy.
