America The Beautiful lyrics

Artist  : Ray Charles 
Song : America The Beautiful
 


Oh beautiful for heroes proved,
In liberating
strife,
Who more than self, our country
loved,
And mercy more than
life,

America, America may God thy gold
refine,
Til all success be nobleness
And
every gain devined.

And you know when I
was in school,
We used to sing it something
like this, listen here:

Oh beautiful, for
spacious skies,
For amber waves of
grain,
For purple maountain
majesties,
Above the fruited plain,

But
now wait a minute, I'm talking about
America,
sweet America
You know, God done shed his
grace on thee,
He crowned thy good, yes he
did, in brotherhood,
From sea to shining
sea.

You know, I wish I had somebody to
help me sing this
(America, America, God shed
his grace on thee)
America, I love you
America, you see,
My God he done shed his
grace on thee,
And you oughta love him for
it,
Cause he, he, he ,he crowned thy
good,
He told me he would, with
brotherhood,
(From sea to shining Sea).
Oh
lord, oh lord, I thank you Lord
(Shining
sea).
