Ray Charles - America The Beautiful

Oh beautiful, for heroes proved,
In liberating strife,
Who more than self, our country loved,
And mercy more than life,

America, America, may God thy gold refine,
Till all success be nobleness
And every gain devined.

And you know when I was in school,
We used to sing it something like this, listen here:

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

But now wait a minute, I'm talking about
America, sweet America,
You know, God done shed his grace on thee,
He crowned thy good, yes he did, in a brotherhood,
From sea to shining sea.

You know, I wish I had somebody to help me sing this
(America, America, God shed his grace on thee)
America, I love you America, you see,
My God he done shed his grace on thee,
And you oughta love him for it,
Cause he, he, he, he, crowned thy good,
He told me he would, with brotherhood,
(From sea to shining sea).
Oh Lord, oh Lord, I thank you Lord
(Shining sea).

ANGELINA

Angelina, why did you have to go
It's hard enough alone, well you should know
The scars you never showed me
Your eyes that turned away
Angelina, to God for you I prayed

Angelina, I often heard you weep
At times I'd stay awake and watch you sleep
Your innocence would move me
At times you've made me scared
Angelina, my love for you I cared

Angelina, in silence you would speak
A simple touch of you and I grew weak
You finally let me hold you
The day before you died
Angelina, my angel in the sky

You finally let me hold you
The day before you died
Angelina, my angel in the sky
