America sighed, having dragged out the now unconscious North Carolina before he heard his daughter. He looked up at her, now that she was closer. "Ally, what?" he asked, now paying more attention to his daughter, eyes wide in concern.
South Carolina saw his twin and gasped, rushing over and kneeling beside his brother. "Jake! Jake, are you okay?!" He gently lifted up North's head from the ground and cringed when he felt a warm wetness; he looked at his hand and saw there was blood on it. "I-it's bleeding... He's bleeding," he said, in a shocked murmur, hands trembling.
★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 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!
★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!
