It's a powerful song, especially if millions of people are singing it together! I'll post the lyrics if anyone wants to learn on the way to DC.

I'd actually like to see someone organize a nationwide singing of God Bless the USA, along with everybody who makes it to DC. Broadcast it on a bunch of widely accessible platforms, so everybody can go outside (or stay inside if they're someplace where they really can't abandon their work and go outside) and really sing together, no matter where they are.

I don't have the skills (or the time) to organize it. Maybe the TD mods?

  1. 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.

  1. Oh, beautiful for pilgrim feet,

Whose stern, impassioned stress

A thoroughfare of freedom beat

Across the wilderness!

America! America!

God mend thine ev’ry flaw,

Confirm thy soul in self-control,

Thy liberty in law.

  1. Oh, beautiful for heroes proved

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.

  1. Oh, 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.
