Lyrics:
Star Spangled Flower
(c) 2001 -- Richard & Linda Hefner
Oh say, can you see,
by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hailed,
at the gleaming twilight,
The rockets' red glare,
the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night,
that our flag was still there.
And where is that band,
who so vauntingly swore,
'Mid the battle's confusion
and havoc of war,
But conquer we must,
for our cause it is just,
And this be our motto,
"In God is our trust!"
No refuge could save,
from the terror of flight,
The foe's evil plan,
turned the day into night.
Midst the rubble arose,
our great symbol of pride,
Flying higher than ever,
with God on our side.
Oh say, does that Star
Spangled Banner yet wave,
With the cost of our freedom,
the lives that they gave.
You can hear 5000 voices,
all shouting from the grave,
It's still the land of the free
and the home of the brave.

I swear I heard this awhile back, same version not knowing where or who it came from. I wanted to say this song is one of my favorites and it is truly remarkable. Thank you!
