The Miami Lighthouse for the Blind
James L.Knight Center in Miami,Florida,1999
Composer : Samuel A. Ward , Katharine Lee Bates
Lyrics :
Oh beautiful, for heroes proved,
In liberating strife,
Who more than self, their country loved,
And mercy more than life,
I'm singing about United
This America,sweet America, may God thy gold refine,
Till all success be nobleness
And every gain devined.
And you know when I was a little boy,
I remember we always sing it like this :
Oh beautiful, for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties,
Above the fruited plain,
America,America,
God done shed his grace on thee,
Oh yes He did,He did
He crowned thy good,oh don't you remember?
In a brotherhood,
From sea to shining sea.
You know, I wish I had somebody
to help me sing this
America, I love you America, you see,
My God he done shed his grace on thee,
And you oughta love him for it,
He, he, he, he, crowned thy good,
He told me he would, with brotherhood,
From sea to shining sea
Oh,yea Jesus, I want to thank you Lord.
RAY CHARLES!!!

@rgjerde53 I totally agree with you, however if you knew the story of why we have the anthem we do now, it will change your mind a little. It's an awesome story!

8 people are not patriots . Ray's version is so full of emotion and soul you can feel it ! THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA FOREVER FROM SEA TO SHINING SEA !

It's not that the Star Spangled Banner is a bad song -- it's just that this would make such a better national anthem. And the official version should always be a Ray Charles recording -- no one does it better. With all the problems we are facing, and all the partisan bickering that keeps us from getting anything done, it's hard to stay optimistic. Listening to this sure helps. Maybe if we required every American to listen to this once a day, we could solve any problem.
