O beautiful for spacious skies
For amber waves of grain
For purple mountain majesties
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 pilgrim feet
Whose stern impassioned stress
A thoroughfare of freedom beat
Across the wilderness.
America, America,
God mend thine every flaw.
Confirm thy soul in self-control
Thy liberty in law.

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
Till all success be nobleness
And every gain divine.

O beautiful for patriot dream
That sees beyond the years
Thine alabaster cities gleam
Undimmed by human tears.
America, America,
God shed his grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea.

O beautiful for halcyon skies
For amber waves of grain
For purple mountain majesties
Above the enameled plain.
America, America,
God shed his grace on thee
Till souls wax fair as earth and air
And music-hearted sea.

O beautiful for pilgrims feet
Whose stem impassioned stress
A thoroughfare for freedom beat
Across the wilderness.
America, America,
God shed his grace on thee
Till paths be wrought through
Wilds of thought
By pilgrim foot and knee.

O beautiful for glory-tale
Of liberating strife
When once and twice
For man's avail
Men lavished precious life.
America, America,
God shed his grace on thee
Till selfish gain no longer stain
The banner of the free.

O beautiful for patriot dream
That sees beyond the years
Thine alabaster cities gleam
Undimmed by human tears.
America, America,
God shed his grace on thee
Till nobler men keep once again
Thy whiter jubilee.


Happy Independence Day!
Impeach Bush.
