O beautiful for spacious skies
For amber waves of grain
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
America! America!
The only place to be
Because we crown thy good with our (because the) brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!
Shining sea!
Oh, I'm talking 'bout the freedom
And shining sea
(Shine, shine, yeah)
Now the sea
(Sea, sea, sea, yeah
Shining sea)
I wanna keep it free, yeah
(Let it shine, yeah)
I wanna keep it free with you and me
(Sea . . .)
Oh no
(Yeah)
Sea to shining sea, yeah
Sea to shining sea, yeah yeah
Oh, yeah yeah, sea to shining sea, yeah
Oh, yeah, sea to . .
Sea to shining sea . . . oh, yeah yeah . .
This really is good night. Thanks a lot for coming to the show. See you in the Fall!
