Marie Barlow: Music

"Oh beautiful for spacious skies, for amber waves of grain, for purple mountain majesties above the fruited plane. America, America God shed His grace on thee, and crown thy good with brotherhood from sea to shining sea...

Oh, beautiful for heros 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...

Oh beautiful for patriot dreams that see 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!"
