One of the ways AMERICAN songwriters and artists have celebrated the inspiration of this country is through a tune called "America the Beautiful"

The lyrics are by Katharine Lee Bates, an English professor from Wellesley College. In 1893, Bates had taken a train trip to Colorado Springs, Colorado, and from atop Pikes Peak, words to a poem were formed. 
Samuel A. Ward, composer, wrote the tune just following a ferry trip from Coney Island to his home in New York City on a summer day.

As Ray Charles said, "Ya know, I wish ya'll could come along and help me sing this thing...it's alright!!

For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!

But now wait a minute!  I'm talkin' about AMERICA!

From Sea to Shining Sea!!!!"

...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!
