While the storm clouds gather far across the sea,
Referring to potential challenges or conflicts abroad.
let us swear allegiance to a land that's free.
Encouraging commitment and loyalty to the free nation.
Let us all be grateful for a land so fair, as we
Expressing gratitude for the beauty and fairness of the country.
raise our voices in a solemn prayer.
Calling for a collective prayer as a united nation.
God Bless America, land that I love.
Direct invocation of God's blessings on America.
Stand beside her and guide her
Asking for divine guidance and support for the nation.
Through the night with a light from above.
Seeking divine assistance throughout challenging times.
From the mountians, to the prairies,
Highlighting the diversity of America's geography.
To the oceans white with foam.
Referencing various landscapes, emphasizing unity.
God Bless America, my home sweet home.
Reiterating the plea for God's blessings on America.
God Bless America, my home sweet home.
Repeating the desire for divine blessings on America.
