Lyrics
?Lady Of Liberty? M. Leppard c.2004
?Give to me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door.?
Lady of Liberty
Bright eternal flame in your hand
Lady of Liberty
Keeping a vigil
over the promised land
There you stand
Proud in your glory
Gracefully
Gazing across the sea
And with the sun on your face
Blessing the whole human race
You gently remind us
To live in harmony
Lady of Liberty
The bright eternal flame in your hand
Oh we love the
Lady of Liberty
holding a beacon
up to the promised land
You were born
Mother of exiles
Promising
Weary and homeless hearts
That they could rest in your arms
You would protect them from harm
And gently remind them
To live in harmony
Lady of Liberty
Bright eternal flame in your hand
Oh we love the
Lady of Liberty
Keeping a vigil
Over the promised land
Were you sleeping
Dreaming of a sweeter, sister shore
Another duty keeping
You had turned your back so pretty
Didn?t see the burning city
Lady of Liberty
Bright eternal flame in your hand
Oh we love the
Lady of Liberty
Keeping a vigil
Over the promised
Holding a beacon up to the promised
Keeping a vigil over the promised land
