America The Beautiful
Oh beautiful for heroes proved,
In liberating strife,
Who more than self,
our country loved,
And mercy more than life,
America, America may God
thy gold refine,
Til all success be nobleness
And every gain
devined.
And you know when I was in school,
We used to sing it
something like this, listen here:
Oh beautiful, for spacious
skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple maountain majesties,
Above
the fruited plain,
But now wait a minute, I'm talking about
America,
sweet America
You know, God done shed his grace on thee,
He crowned thy
good, yes he did, in brotherhood,
From sea to shining sea.
You know,
I wish I had somebody to help me sing this
(America, America, God shed his
grace on thee)
America, I love you America, you see,
My God he done shed
his grace on thee,
And you oughta love him for it,
Cause he, he, he ,he
crowned thy good,
He told me he would, with brotherhood,
(From sea to
shining Sea).
Oh lord, oh lord, I thank you Lord
(Shining sea). |
