She stands by me, she stands by all of us Shielding with bright the flame of purest truth Like Thetis gainst the banes, she’s beauteous Allowing me to grow within my youth A roaming free through her prairies untamed Hued with vibrant roses as her stripes red With lakes most deep and mountains, high most famed And stars that watch over us when dawn’s dead America, the guard of all the rest Brother to the young, mother to her son An eagle soaring o’er the sky’s blue breast Daring to claim the fiery, hot sun Aglimmer with a brazen, nascent zest And bring it back and lay it in hard pride America the beauteous and bright Across the mountains folding ‘gainst the wold Across the lakes reflecting the deep sky Across the cities rimmed at night in gold Is the place where harmony shan’t e’er die America, the place where sorrows flee The land of the brave, those who charge to fight Who fight for what makes America, free Who fight for what makes America, bright Who fight against the scourge of dawning hate We are the folks who lead the world before Tomorrow, we make America great America, tis to freedom, the door America, tis to pure hope, the gate America, to the future, the tide America, the beauteous and bright In times of need, in times of woe and drear We welcomed all hapless people who fell Cringing within their dark, wholesome despair By the black feet of dark the king of hell This land is land that always share must we This land is land with laws and judges, just This land the land of opportunity This land the land forged together with trust America, the home of everyone Who dare to achieve ‘yond the mortal eye Warden of all, rebuilder of the gone The eagle who dares to the bright stars, fly Beyond where rims all space the light of sun And venture deep into galaxies, wide America, the beauteous and bright

America the Bright
She stands by me, she stands by all of us Shielding with bright the flame of purest truth Like Thetis gainst the banes, she’s beauteous Allowing me to grow within my youth A roaming free through her prairies untamed Hued with vibrant roses as her stripes red With lakes most deep and mountains, high most famed And stars that watch over us when dawn’s dead America, the guard of all the rest Brother to the young, mother to her son An eagle soaring o’er the sky’s blue breast Daring to claim the fiery, hot sun Aglimmer with a brazen, nascent zest And bring it back and lay it in hard pride America the beauteous and bright Across the mountains folding ‘gainst the wold Across the lakes reflecting the deep sky Across the cities rimmed at night in gold Is the place where harmony shan’t e’er die America, the place where sorrows flee The land of the brave, those who charge to fight Who fight for what makes America, free Who fight for what makes America, bright Who fight against the scourge of dawning hate We are the folks who lead the world before Tomorrow, we make America great America, tis to freedom, the door America, tis to pure hope, the gate America, to the future, the tide America, the beauteous and bright In times of need, in times of woe and drear We welcomed all hapless people who fell Cringing within their dark, wholesome despair By the black feet of dark the king of hell This land is land that always share must we This land is land with laws and judges, just This land the land of opportunity This land the land forged together with trust America, the home of everyone Who dare to achieve ‘yond the mortal eye Warden of all, rebuilder of the gone The eagle who dares to the bright stars, fly Beyond where rims all space the light of sun And venture deep into galaxies, wide America, the beauteous and bright
