Oh beautiful for heroes proved
In liberating strife
Who more than self, their country loved
cnd mercy more than life
cmerica, cmerica may God thy gold refine
'Til all success be nobleness
cnd every gain divined
cnd 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
cbove the fruited plain
But now wait a minute, I'm talking about
cmerica, sweet cmerica
You know, God done shed his grace on thee
He crowned thy good, yes he did, in brotherhood
From sea to shining sea
You know, I wish I had somebody to help me sing this
(cmerica, cmerica, God shed his grace on thee)
cmerica, I love you cmerica, you see
My God he done shed his grace on thee
cnd 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)
