[Verse 1: Keb' Mo']
O, beautiful for spacious skies
For amber waves of grain
For purple mountains majesty
Above the fruited plain
[Chorus: Keb' Mo']
America, America
God shed his grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea
[Verse 2: Keb' Mo']
O, beautiful for heroes proved
In liberating strife
Who more than self their country loved
And mercy more than life
[Chorus: Keb' Mo']
America, America
May God thy gold refine
And may all success be nobleness
And every gain divine
[Interlude: Barack Obama]
We've made our share of mistakes, and there are times when our actions around the world have not lived up to our best intentions. But I also know how much I love America. I know that for more than two centuries, we have strived at great costs and great sacrifice to form a more perfect you
[Chorus 2: Keb' Mo']
O, America, America
God shed his grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea
From sea to shining sea
From sea to shine, shining sea
