Our Anthem - Joe

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
