America The Beautiful

Oh beautiful, for heroes proved
 In liberating strife
 Who more than self, our country loved
 And mercy more than life
 America, America, may God thy gold refine
 Till all success be nobleness
 And every gain devined
 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) America, I love you America
 You see, my God he done shed his grace on thee (God 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 (From sea to shining sea)
 Oh Lord, oh Lord, I thank you Lord
 (Shining sea)
