      I just did the EXACT same thing. A lot of well-known stars too! I just wanted to hear it the right way without all the added runs and stuff. It's nice and all but not the way I was looking for.

    Lift every voice and sing
    Till earth and heaven ring
    Ring with the harmonies of Liberty
    Let our rejoicing rise
    High as the listening skies
    Let it resound loud as the rolling sea
    Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us
    Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us
    Facing the rising sun of our new day begun
    Let us march on till victory is won
    Stony the road we trod
    Bitter the chastening rod
    Felt in the days when hope unborn had died
    Yet with a steady beat
    Have not our weary feet
    Come to the place for which our fathers sighed?
    We have come over a way that with tears has been watered
    We have come, treading our path through the blood of the slaughtered
    Out from the gloomy past
    Till now we stand at last
    Where the white gleam of…

    This would be/have been a great song/anthem for the protesters to sing
    along the marches-especially standing at Lafayette Square! Remember "We
    Shall Overcome," "We Are The World," "Get Up, Stand Up," Legend's
    "Glory," and some sang recently, "Lean On Me"? A unifying anthem that
    travels around the world is needed. All past effective protests in
    history have had them, as music finds a special place in the hearts and
    minds of people. Churches, universities, coaches, the military,
    governments, etc., use simple repeating anthems/songs to unify over and
    over and over again until the song becomes a powerful motivating force
    for action and gives energy for the protest to last. We need a song
    that we sing when rising in the morning and sing in our dreams and
    doesn't let us forget the inequities and cruelty in our society and
    beyond.

      Check your facts. The writer was written by a Black guy to honor Booker T Washington and this song became popular in the early 1900’ and the NAACP adopted and promoted it as the “Negro National Anthem.”

      Please, enlighten me as to how this is gross. Firstly, it’s art and it isn’t hurting anyone except for maybe your fragile ego. Secondly, our “national anthem” was not written for ALL Americans.
      Kindly keep your white supremacy out of here.
