The World Cup was amazing. Last-minute heroics were just fantastic dramas. One of the fun parts was the national anthems. I prefer the short ones. Did I hear an anthem with no words?
Our anthem sings about the rocket’s red glare, bombs bursting in air. I would prefer the lines in “America the Beautiful”: America, America, God shed his grace on thee. And crown thy good with brotherhood from sea to shining to sea. We all could use a lot of that.
