The full verse is:O beautiful, for spacious skies,For amber waves of grain,For purple mountain majestiesAbove the fruited plain!Explanation:The song America the Beautiful mentions several attributes that make America so beautiful, and America's beautiful mountains are one of those attributes. The lyrics "above the fruited plain" are simply describing that the location of the purple mountains, mentioned in the previous lyrics, are above the plains that are filled with fruits.

Katharine Lee Bates' inspiration for "America the Beautiful" came from her visit to Pikes Peak in 1893. It describes the view as seen from the top of Pikes Peak. At 14,410 ft, the skies are spacious, the mountains in all directions look purple, and below are the cities of Manitou Springs and Colorado Springs. They lie in a fertile valley full of apple and cherry orchards. As far as one can see towards the east are amber waves of grain.
