[America the Beautiful by Ray Charles]
Words by Katharine Lee Bates,
Melody by Samuel Ward


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!

O beautiful for pilgrim feet
Whose stern impassioned stress
A thoroughfare of freedom beat
Across the wilderness!
America! America!
God mend thine every flaw,
Confirm thy soul in self-control,
Thy liberty in law!

O beautiful for heroes proved
In liberating strife.
Who more than self their country loved
And mercy more than life!
America! America!
May God thy gold refine
Till all success be nobleness
And every gain divine!

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!

O beautiful for halcyon skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the enameled plain!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
Till souls wax fair as earth and air
And music-hearted sea!

O beautiful for pilgrims feet,
Whose stem impassioned stress
A thoroughfare for freedom beat
Across the wilderness!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
Till paths be wrought through
wilds of thought
By pilgrim foot and knee!

O beautiful for glory-tale
Of liberating strife
When once and twice,
for man's avail
Men lavished precious life!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
Till selfish gain no longer stain
The banner of the free!

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
Till nobler men keep once again
Thy whiter jubilee!

  • @ElfNathanable I wholeheartedly agree with you. No one seems to take into consideration (including media and pundits) that much of what Obama tries to do for Americans, not rich corporations, are stymied by members of our government whose interest is more with the wealthy citizens and corporations. His hands are so tied behind his back by those who care more about seeing him fail than their concern for Americans and America!

  • I am just wondering when the American people are going to wake up and realize that the president cannot and does not run this country without the support of congress. And our current president has had nothing to do with any of the problems we have right now. No one has given him time to fix anything. It took George Bush 8 years to mess it up and you people expect a President, WITHOUT THE SUPPORT OF CONGRESS (which our president has NEVER had) CANNOT FIX BUSH'S RUINING OF OUR ECONOMY IN TWO YRS!

  • @ElfNathanable Bush only had congress for 2 years my friend but he got unemployment down to about %5. After that Pelosi and Reid have been in charge. It's been downhill every since. Stop watching MSNBC and do the simple math yourself. 15 trillion in debt. H e added more to the debt than all the other presidents combined.

  • One thing is for sure, and cannot be disputed. Freedom isn't free!

  • i get to vote this year and guess what obama isnt gonna get re elected to many ppl dont like him and he go tput in during a horrible time but he ddint do anyhting to help america so hes gonna be out of there
