lyrics
God shed His grace on thee, [2x]
O beautiful for halcyon skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above enameled plains
America… [2x]
God shed His grace on thee,
Till souls wax fair as earth and air
And music-hearted see…
O beautiful for, pilgrims achieved
Whose stern impassioned, stress of belief
A thoroughfare, for freedom beat
Across the world - o - mess, America! America!
Christ shed His grace on thee
America, Christ shed His grace on thee
Red collared conservative point twitching plastic fingers
Wishing Amerikind drop and die
Let the disrespected freak flag wave high...
Wave on wave on 3x [Oh, Yes…]
O beautiful for glory-tale
God shed His grace on thee
Till selfish gain no longer stain,
America… [3x]
Oh beautiful for spacious skies…
For amber waves of grain
