Mark Birdsall has "always thought that America The Beautiful was a better anthem than the Star Spangled Banner" [the vocal range is definitely more accessible!] ... but that "the verse with 'alabaster cities undimmed by human tears' did not fit the reality at all".
His suggested replacement:
O beautiful for blood long shed
In Freedom's labor pains,
The sweat and tears
Of many years
Must never be in vain;
America, America,
Let all hearts beat as one,
And let there be
Equality
From sun to rising sun.https://tech.lgbt/@grinningcat/112726874744744794
