"Our Anthem" lyrics

"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
