America the Beautiful

News commentators are saying regardless of the outcome of the presidential election, one half of the country is going to be unhappy! 
Who knows how that unhappiness 'looks'!

Words to this song were written By Kaharine Lee Bates in 1904:

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.

O beautiful for heroes prove in liberating strife,
who more than self their country loved, and mercy more than life!
America! America! May God they gold refine, till all success be nobleness, and every gain divine.

O beautiful for patriot dream that sees beyond the years,
thine alabaster cities gleam, undimmed by human tears!
America, America! God mend thine every flaw, confirm thy soul in self-control, thy liberty in law.
