I like this one:
O Beautiful for patriot dream
That sees beyond the years
Thine alabaster cities gleam,
Undimmed by human tears!
America! America! God shed His grace on thee,
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!
The song tells about America and what it’s like. The SSB does not, it’s about the flag that represents America.
My favorite verse......
‘America the Beautiful’ is a Much better song, GBA sucks, it is the worst of the patriotic anthems because it is slow, dull, and authoritarian. God has nothing to do with it.
