The National Anthem of the United States of America
. THE STAR SPANGLED BANNER .
As the soot and dirt and ash rained down,
We became one color.
As we carried each other down the stairs
of the burning building,
We became one class.
As we lit candles of waiting and hope,
We became one generation.
As the firefighters and police officers
fought their way into the inferno,
We became one gender.
As we fell to our knees
in prayer for strength,
We became one faith.
As we whispered or shouted
words of encouragement,
We spoke one language.
As we gave our blood in lines a mile long,
We became one body.
As we mourned together the great loss,
We became one family.
As we cried tears of grief and loss,
We became one soul.
As we retell with pride
of the sacrifice of heros,
We became one people.
We are
One color, One class, One generation,
One gender, One faith, One language,
One body, One family, One soul, One people.
We are The Power of One.
We are United.
We are America.

THE NATIONAL ANTHEM
of the
UNITED STATES of AMERICA
.The Star Spangled Banner.
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 rocket's red glare,
the bombs bursting in air
Gave proof thro' 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?
