Keepers at the Gate

Oh say can you see
All those who are free
In the greatest country
That allows this to be

We can protest in peace
We can fight all disease
We invent things with ease
We can pray on our knees

We have guns as a right
Our voting has might
To the world we’re a light
Like a beacon that’s bright

There is no debate
Our armed forces are great
They help seal our fate
As keepers at the gate

Our constitution’s the best
It’s been put to the test
As you might have guessed
Our freedom still rests

Our forefathers were smart
Our people have heart
But we must do our part
‘Cause we can’t restart

Let’s make sure we stay
In a home where we say
We’re not just “OK”
We’re the U.S. of A!
