Oh, beautiful,
for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain,
America! America!
God shed His grace on thee
And crown thy good
With brotherhood
From sea to shining sea.

That song always makes me cry it’s so beautiful!
Yes, it is beautiful. I have loved it ever since we had to learn it in grade school. They don’t teach it anymore, though. Sad.
