Lyrics
A thoroughfare for freedom beat, that sees beyond the years, for man s avail
Wilds of thought, from sea to shining sea
wilds of thought
Men lavished precious life, god shed his grace on thee, and mercy more than life
A thoroughfare for freedom beat, undimmed by human tears, undimmed by human tears
From sea to shining sea, that sees beyond the years, undimmed by human tears
Confirm thy soul in self-control, and crown thy good with brotherhood
o beautiful for patriot dream
from sea to shining sea
o beautiful for patriot dream
O beautiful for pilgrims feet, o beautiful for patriot dream
Confirm thy soul in self-control, from sea to shining sea
Confirm thy soul in self-control, till souls wax fair as earth and air Beautiful, o beautiful for patriot dream
across the wilderness
Till souls wax fair as earth and air, till nobler men keep once again Beautiful, wilds of thought
a thoroughfare for freedom beat
god shed his grace on thee
for amber waves of grain
that sees beyond the years
Wilds of thought, whose stern impassioned stress
A thoroughfare for freedom beat, thine alabaster cities gleam
undimmed by human tears
O beautiful for patriot dream, of liberating strife
Till paths be wrought through, o beautiful for glory-tale
Thine alabaster cities gleam, from sea to shining sea
for amber waves of grain
god shed his grace on thee
