AMERICA AMERICA

(Partial lyrics by Katherine Lee Bates)

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

Once beautiful for pilgrim feet
Whose stern impassioned stress
A thoroughfare for freedom beat
Across the wilderness.

Chorus:
America! America!
Good Friend where Have you gone
America! America!
Haven't seen you for so long.

Once beautiful for heroes proved
In liberating strife,
Who more than self their country loved,
And mercy more than life.

Chorus:

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

Fade...

Once beautiful for patriot dream
That sees beyond the years
Thine alabaster cities gleam
Undimmed by human tears.
Unmoved by human tears.
Removed from human tears.

fade...

Once beautiful for patriot dream?
That sees beyond the years
Thine alabaster cities gleam
Undimmed by human tears.
Unmoved by human tears.
Removed from human tears.

fade...

I must question this last beauty
and seeing how it was written by a women
did she mean undimmed by a womens tears?
Perhaps seeking and seeing the strength of a man....
as being steely and unmoving
but as a man.... tears are essential and not crocadile ones either
for tears are the fruit of the soul the what was it....

dead men don't cry....

Chorus:

Then gather here, oh kindred souls,
To make this Earth anew.
And dim thy cities ugly glare,
For a sun that shines more true.

ANd the pedagogues say America won that war without ever examining the fact that the Brits walked away carrying their arms! Ever see the treaty that was made? ☺ So tired of the pundit 'educritters' and their braintrainment and lies. Thanks swanny for the enilgtenment. Great beer, better shine! Hurrah for the Union Jack!
