Obama’s inauguration was a great event for all Americans. During the inaugural celebration concert Beyonce was the last performer. She sang a beautiful American patriotic song “America the Beautiful”. As I’ve already said, I have a great respect for people who can sing live. Less and less singers can do it well nowadays. I like the beautiful way Beyonce did it. And I hope, America is going to have a bright future with the new president.
Beyonce – America the Beautiful Song Words
Obama Inaugural Celebration Concert
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, impassioned stress
A thoroughfare for freedom beat
Across the wilderness!
America! America! God mend thine every flaw;
Confirm thy soul in self control, thy liberty in law!
O’ 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,
‘Til 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!
