O beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!

America! America!
G-d shed His grace on thee,
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!

O beautiful for patriot dream
That sees beyond the years
Thine alabaster cities gleam
Undimmed by human tears!

America! America!
G-d shed His grace on thee,
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!

When you're weary, feeling small,
When tears are in your eyes
I will dry them all.
I'm on your side,
Oh, when times get rough
And friends just can't be found.
Like a bridge over troubled water,
I will lay me down.
Like a bridge over troubled water,
I will lay me down.

When you're down and out,
When you're on the street.
When evening falls so hard,
I will comfort you.
I'll take your part
Oh, when darkness comes
And pain is all around.
Like a bridge over troubled water,
I will lay me down.
Like a bridge over troubled water,
I will lay me down.

Sail on silver girl,
Sail on by.
Your time has come to shine.
All your dreams are on their way.
See how they shine.
Oh, if you need a friend,
I'm sailing right behind.
Like a bridge over troubled water,
I will ease your mind.
Like a bridge over troubled water,
I will ease your mind.

And crown they good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea.
