America the Beautiful Lyrics

America! America!

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!


America! America!

Ah, that was beautiful, my young brothers
But when I was in school, we used to sing it a little differently
When I was in school, we used to sing it like this

O, beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain's majesty
Above the fruited plain!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!

America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!
Sea to shining sea
From sea to shining sea!
America!
