Our Anthem |
| Oh say, can you see |
| By the dawn’s early light |
| What so proudly we hail |
| At the twilight’s last gleaming |
| See our stripes and our scars, a perilous fight |
| Our young men behind bars gun down in the night |
| Is this red, white and blue or black, brown and white? |
| Ask yourself is it wrong or is it right? |
| Our children are suffering |
| And we’re blaming religion |
| Why can’t we all try a little tenderness |
| Hear our grievances |
| See our despair |
| Got to make it easier |
| So much easier to bear |
| Lift every voice and sing |
| 'Til Earth and Heaven ring |
| With the harmonies of, of liberty |
| Then there will be us peacefully |
| In the land of the free, of the free |
| And the home of the brave |
| Why can’t we all just try a little tenderness, tenderness |
| When you see your brother sufferin', sufferin' |
| You can, don’t grieve us, just believe it |
| Got to, got to, no no no |
| Got to try a little tenderness, tenderness |
| This is our anthem yes, anthem yes |
| You got to, don’t grieve us, just believe it |
| Why can’t we all just try a little tenderness, tenderness |
| When you see your brother sufferin' |
| Don’t grieve us, just believe that |
| Got to, got to, no no no |
| Got to try a little tenderness |
