Lyrics: Oh beautiful for spacious skies for amber waves of grain For purple mountains majesties above the fruited plain America America God shed his grace on thee And crown thy good with brotherhood from sea to shining sea So many brave so many gave to keep you safe and free There is no way we can repay their gift of liberty America America behold your future bright Of sons and daughters ever free residing in your light Your soft green hills your valleys wide your endless sparkling streams The bounty of your fertile soil on which we build our dreams America America the land where freedom rings Though near or far our guiding star in praise of thee we sing The symbol of our founding pride it waves red white and blue Reminding us of glories past and all weve yet to do America America God shed his grace on thee And crown thy good with brotherhood from sea t
