Anthem for Minnesota


O say can you see, by the midday dim light,

What so proudly we hail'd at the twilight's last gleaming,

Whose blue fields and North Star through the perilous ICE

Through the tear gas we watch'd was so gallantly streaming?

And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air,

Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there,

O say does that North Star banner yet wave

O'er the land of the ICE free and the home of the brave?
