VERSE 1:
O 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
VERSE 2:
O beautiful for pilgrim feet, whose stern impassioned stress
A thoroughfare for freedom beat across the wilderness
America, America, God mend thine ev'ry flaw
Confirm thy soul in self-control, thy liberty in law
VERSE 3:
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
OUTRO:
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea - to - shi - - - ning sea
