Oh beautiful, for heroes proved
In liberating strife,
Who more than self, their country loved
And mercy more than life,

America, oh America, may God thy gold refine
Till all success be nobleness
And every gain devined.

(spoken)
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 mountain 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 a 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....
