America the Beautiful – Alternative Lyrics
How beautiful, our spacious skies, our amber waves of grain,
our purple mountains as they rise above the fruitful plain.
America! America! Love’s gracious gifts abound,
and more and more we’re grateful for life’s bounty all around.
Indigenous and immigrant, all of our beloved ones:
O may we never rest content 'til all are truly one.
America! America! Oh grant that we may be
a people-hood, for common good, from sea to shining sea.
Original song writer - Katherine Lee Bates, 1895
