I think it's time to quote the original text of America, The Beautiful.

People were so patriotic that they changed the words to get rid of all the criticism that should come with American Patriotism. Notice that "And crown thy good with brotherhood from sea to shining sea" appears nowhere in the original hymn.

Oh beautiful for halcyon skies
For amber waves of grain
For purple mountain majesties
Above the enameled plain

America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
'Til souls wax fair as earth and air
And music-hearted
sea

Oh beautiful, for pilgrims feet
Whose stem impassioned stress
A thoroughfare for freedom beat
Across the wilderness

America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
'Til paths be wrought through wilds of thought
By pilgrim foot and knee


Oh beautiful, for glory-tale
Of liberating strife
When once and twice for man's avail
Men lavished precious life

America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
'Til selfish gain no longer stain
The banner of the free


Oh 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
'Til nobler men keep once again
Thy finer jubilee


And another song:

Lift every voice and sing, till earth and Heaven ring,
Ring with the harmonies of liberty;
Let our rejoicing rise, high as the listening skies,
Let it resound loud as the rolling sea.
Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us,
Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us;
Facing the rising sun of our new day begun,
Let us march on till victory is won.

Stony the road we trod, bitter the chastening rod,
Felt in the days when hope unborn had died;
Yet with a steady beat, have not our weary feet,
Come to the place for which our fathers sighed?
We have come over a way that with tears has been watered,
We have come, treading our path through the blood of the slaughtered;
Out from the gloomy past, till now we stand at last
Where the white gleam of our bright star is cast.

God of our weary years, God of our silent tears,
Thou Who hast brought us thus far on the way;
Thou Who hast by Thy might, led us into the light,
Keep us forever in the path, we pray.
Lest our feet stray from the places, our God, where we met Thee.
Lest our hearts, drunk with the wine of the world, we forget Thee.
Shadowed beneath Thy hand, may we forever stand,
True to our God, true to our native land.
Like Sean, I'm way too cool for a signature.
