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!!!

You know, ignoring the fact that Ray Charles was a Democrat... You don't have to have a particular political affiliation to be a patriot, or a music lover.

You guys should respect your flag more, it should be illegal to burn it. Why did roseanne barr grab her crouch singing the American Nation Anthem.

[Jack Schimmelman]

when i was living in paris, i went for a vacation in the south of france. they had ray charles' version of america the beautiful on the juke box.  i heard it and decided right then and there it was time to come home.

[Timothy Mason]

He sings of brotherhood - and you wanna soil this music with some sort of partisan statement? Not cool.
