I once felt at liberty on this solid ground

That once was called the home of the free.

But liberty lost is hard to be found again

Now I can't speak the truth that I believe.

America the Beautiful was beautiful because we believed

How can I stand up to fight without my rights?

I want to see from sea to shining sea.

I thought this was the home of the brave and the land of the free

I use to know nothing but independence

Now I wonder what it even feels like

To be able to speak out for what you believe in

To be able to stand up for what is right

America the Beautiful was beautiful because we believed

How can I stand up to fight without my rights?

I want to see from sea to shining sea.

I thought this was the home of the brave and the land of the free

We can't speak out; our voices are not heard anymore

How can God bless a nation filled with blood and gore?

Innocent die and American looks the other way

My hope and prayer are for a brighter day.

 

 

America the Beautiful will be beautiful because we believe

I'll stand up and fight with all my rights.

I will see from sea to shining sea.

I know this is the home of the brave and the land of the free.
