BEAUTIFUL AMERICA
Oh my, what a lovely country.
Americans, we are blessed.
The wonders of this country
could never be overstressed!
Tall, majestic mountains boast
glistening snow-crowned heads.
Blue mysterious oceans gleam
with sparkling water spreads.
Green, luscious grassy meadows,
refreshing mountain streams,
gorgeous golden sunsets,
fuel our hopeful dreams.
Kingly trees with arms reaching,
to offer treasures rare.
Decorations of assorted flowers
spread perfumes into the air.
Symphonies of tiny raindrops
pitter-pattering hungry ground.
Choruses of songbirds singing,
serenading us all around.
Musicians of small creatures,
from crickets to the jar flies;
lightening bugs winking at us,
illuminating velvet skies.
Beautiful America,
God shed His grace on thee;
Beautiful America,
far as the eye can see.
Beautiful America,
ordained by realms above.
Beautiful America,
the land I'll always love.
