    Oh, say, can you see, by the dawn's early light,
    What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming?
    Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thro' the perilous fight;
    O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming.
    And the rockets red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
    Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
    Oh, say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave
    O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

    Freedom means a lot to us due to our experience with a mind control cult. I'm so thankful every day to be free.

    That's all I wanted to say.

    It is nice to be able to take comfort and pride form our national anthems now we are out of the org. I too have come to find inspiration from the English national anthem, especially the second to last line in the 6 th verse.

    Liking a song is the same as being in a cult?! Am I understanding you correctly? Do you not listen to music?
