This song always chokes me up. My favorite verse is not often sung, but it's included in this video. It seems particularly appropriate today.
O beautiful for patriot dream
That sees beyond the years
Thine alabaster cities gleam
Undimmed by human tears!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!
I also like the positive attitude of this video - of looking forward to what we can do to make America a better home for us all. Everyone might not agree with every suggestion, but there is at least something for everyone.
Happy 4th of July
Testing - comments on other blogs aren't posting so I wanted to try here.
