For those who are unfamiliar with all the lyrics of this song here it is in all it's glory. For me it is one cornerstone of our foundation:
America the Beautiful
Lyrics by Katherine Lee Bates;
Music composed by Samuel A. Ward
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 pilgrim feet
Whose stern impassion'd stress
A thoroughfare for freedom beat
Across the wilderness.
America! America!
God mend thine ev'ry flaw,
Confirm thy soul in self-control,
Thy liberty in law.
O beautiful for heroes prov'd
In liberating strife,
Who more than self their country loved,
And mercy more than life.
America! America!
May God thy gold refine
Till all success be nobleness,
And ev'ry gain divine.
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.
The lyrics to this song were written by Katharine Lee Bates after an inspiring trip to the top of Pikes Peak, Colorado, in 1893.

The known lyrics always made me tear up too. I only knew the complete lyrics a few years ago and it still gives me goose bumps.
