(America, America, America,
America)
O beautiful for spacious skies,
for amber waves of grain
For purple moutain majesties
above thy fruited plain!
America, America, God shed His
grace on thee
And crown thy good with
brotherhood from sea to shining sea
(O beautiful for patriot dream
that sees beyond the years)
(Thine alabaster 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
