Lea Michele - America The Beautiful lyrics

Oh 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 Oh beautiful for pilgrim feet Whose stern impa**ioned 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 Oh 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 Oh 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 Oh 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 Till souls wax fair as earth and air And music hearted sea Oh beautiful for pilgrims feet Whose stem impa**ioned 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 Oh 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 Oh 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 Oh 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
