Background Knowledge of Star Spangled Banner:
The Star Spangled Banner was written by Francis Scott Key. He wrote this song because of the Battle of Fort McHenry during the War of 1812. This song is to cherish how the American flag still stood through the disastrous fight.
Rewrite of the Star Spangled Banner:
Look at that light in the sky
We proudly look at it glowing
Those red stripes and illuminating
stars standing through war
We watched the battle over the wall in which the flag was still waving
Fires are shot and bombs exploding
Through all of this, the flag still stood
That is one tough flag
Our land is of liberty and courage
