Story Behind The Song
On the evening of September 11, 2001, as I watched events unfold on TV , I was struck by a scene that showed the Statue of Liberty in the foreground and the twin towers burning on the ground in the back ground. In one shot there was freedom and tyranny, I immediately wrote the song. It was recorded in 2015

Lyrics
America Is Free
There is a statue
In New York Harbour
They call her Liberty
She takes in all
Your huddled masses
Yearning to breathe free
She stands so tall
Reaching to the sky
For all the world to see
And in her hand
The torch of freedom shines
Shines for you and me
America, America
America is free
America, America
America is free
Lady Liberty, Lady Liberty
Always keep us free
Never leave a doubt
What you're all about
When you tell them
America is free
Lady Liberty
With you head unbowed
Lady Liberty
We made it through and now
It's the time
We need to hear your voice
All across the Earth
Lady Liberty
Let the whole world know
Let the whole world know
America, America
America is free
America, America
America is free
America,
America is free
America,
America is free
America,
America is free
America
America is free
