God’s Spangled Banner
Jose can't you see that Dawn just isn't right.
Oh how loudly she wails –long into the night.
And over on Rampart, there's a terrible sight.
Lights gleaming, cops screaming, beating –people burning to fight!
But there's proof there's someone who'll stop this horrible fright.
Whom we can turn to, and yearn to who's really got the might
O'er the land and o'er the seas, His loving banner you will see…
Over you and over me –His love'll make us free,
Jose yes that love spangled banner yet waves
Jesus' cross has set us free and given us –Heaven's home of the brave.
