America the Beautiful
Oh beautiful for spacious skies for amber waves of grain
For purple mountain majesties above the fruited plain
America! America!
God shed His grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea

Oh beautiful for patriot dreams that seize beyond thy years
Thine alabastor cities gleam
Undimmed by human tears
America, america, god shed his grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood from sea to shining sea!
