While the storm clouds gather far across the sea,
Let us swear allegiance to a land that?s free
Let us all be grateful for a land so fair,
As we raise our voices in a solemn prayer:
God bless america, land that I love,
Stand beside her and guide her
Through the night with a light from above
From the mountains, to the prairies,
To the oceans white with foam,
God bless america,
My home sweet home
