TITLE: CAN YOU SEE?
[Spoken Intro]
Francis Scott Key.
He watched the bombardment of Fort McHenry through the night.
When morning came...
he looked.
The flag told him everything he needed to know.
Our national anthem begins with a question.
"Oh, say can you see?"
Two hundred years later...

[Instrumental]

[Verse 1]
Oh, say can you see?
What changed
while life went on?

One promise.
One signature.
One decision.
Until yesterday
became today.
--------------------------------------------------
[Pre-Chorus]
No alarms.
No sirens.
No single moment.
Just one decision...
Then another.
Until what once felt temporary...
became normal.
--------------------------------------------------
[Chorus]
Can you see?
Can you see?

[Bridge]
One law...
doesn't tell the whole story.
One technology...
doesn't tell the whole story.
One headline...
doesn't tell the whole story.
But piece by piece...
law by law...
decision by decision...
the picture begins to appear.
The question
has never changed.
Can you see?
--------------------------------------------------
[Final Chorus]
Can you see?
Can you see?
One law...
One promise...
One decision...
One step...
Until the picture
begins to appear.
Can you see?

[Outro]
Don't take my word for it.
Don't take anyone's.
Look.

Verify.
Connect the pieces.
