I remember when this song uplifted my heart.

Now, I feel nothing but cynicism.

"O 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!"
