America the Beautiful - Ray Charles

O, beautiful for spacious skies

For amber waves of grain

For purple mountains majesty

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 heroes proved

In liberating strife

Who more than self their country loved

And mercy more than life

America, America

May God thy gold refine

And may all success be nobleness

And every gain divine

O, America, America

God shed his grace on thee

And crown thy good with brotherhood

From sea to shining sea

From sea to shining sea

From sea to shine, shining sea
