We, the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect Union

I have a dream, a dream that one day

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal

And they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights

That among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness



Oh, say, can you see, by the dawn's early light

What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming?

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America

Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight

O'er the ramparts, we watched, were so gallantly streaming

And to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God



And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air

Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there indivisible

Oh, say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave

With liberty and justice for all

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