Lea Michele - America The Beautiful Lyrics
Oh beautiful for spacious skies
For amber waves of grainFor purple mountain majestiesAbove the fruited plainAmerica, AmericaGod shed His grace on theeAnd crown thy good with brotherhoodFrom sea to shining seaOh beautiful for pilgrim feetWhose stern impassioned stressA thoroughfare of freedom beatAcross the wildernessAmerica, AmericaGod mend thine every flawConfirm thy soul in self-controlThy liberty in lawOh beautiful for heroes provedIn liberating strifeWho more than self their country lovedAnd mercy more than lifeAmerica, AmericaMay God thy gold refineTill all success be noblenessAnd every gain divineOh beautiful for patriot dreamThat sees beyond the yearsThine alabaster cities gleamUndimmed by human tearsAmerica, AmericaGod shed His grace on theeAnd crown thy good with brotherhoodFrom sea to shining seaOh beautiful for halcyon skiesFor amber waves of grainFor purple mountain majestiesAbove the enameled plainAmerica, AmericaGod shed His grace on theeTill souls wax fair as earth and airAnd music hearted seaOh beautiful for pilgrims feetWhose stem impassioned stressA thoroughfare for freedom beatAcross the wildernessAmerica, AmericaGod shed His grace on theeTill paths be wrought through wilds of thoughtBy pilgrim foot and kneeOh beautiful for glory tale of liberating strifeWhen once and twice for man's availMen lavished precious lifeAmerica, AmericaGod shed His grace on theeTill selfish gain no longer stainThe banner of the freeOh beautiful for patriot dreamThat sees beyond the yearsThine alabaster cities gleamUndimmed by human tearsAmerica, AmericaGod shed His grace on theeTill nobler men keep once again thy whiter jubileeAmerica
