Here we have Aretha Franklin now

singing the National anthem.

My country,'tis of thee,

Sweet land...

... of liberty,

Of thee...

... I sing;

Land where...

... my fathers died,

Land of the...

... pilgrims' pride,

From every

every mountainside

Let free...

freedom... freedom ring!

Our father's God to Thee,

Author...

Author of liberty,

To Thee we sing.

Long may our...

... land be bright,

With freedom's...

... holy light,

- Protect... Protect !

- Protect ! Protect !

Protect us by Thy might,

Oh, Free...

Freedom ring...

Let it ring! Let it ring!

Let it ring! Let it ring!

- Let it ring! Let it ring!

- Ring... Ring... Ring

Let it ring...

Let it ring...
