Oh Say, People, Can You See?

Oh say people can you see?
Two tall buildings taken by world of hate!
Oh say, did you see?

Oh say people can you see?
Two airplanes hitting our world trade center!
Oh say, did you see?

"Oh say can you see"
Sung by many people everywhere everyday heartfelt??
Oh say, did you see?

Oh say people can you see?
Was it by dawn's early light or around 11:20 a.m. EST?
Oh say, did you see?

Oh say people can you see?
All those firemen and policemen working hard!
Oh say, did you see?

Oh say people can you see?
All those who gave their lives rescueing!
Oh say, did you see?

Oh say people can you see?
America is stronger now can't you see!
OH SAY CAN YOU SEE?


Thanks Catie for pointing out the right time to me.
