The Sorrow of Lady Liberty
TommyD 1957 (Ft. Lee)
The Sorrow of Lady Liberty
There is a hatred now that's in our midst
From people who have those raising fists
The freedoms that we once did know
Being ripped to shreds by terrors glow
The tattered remnants of our flag
As Americans ,we should be able to brag …
About it's History , strong and true
The way that Warriors fought for you
For the freedoms that we now know
And the blood that forever resumes to flow
Hatred sparked by selfishness
Brought on by their own righteousness
My Father came here , with tears in his eyes
And looking now , it's the statue that cries !
As those who now want to enter this land
And want to change God's master plan ...
Of freedom that was fought and paid
To bigotry and the tyranny laid
How do we except the fact
that we are the Country that's never lacked ...
To open doors for all to come
And bring there talents and spirits drum
Rules that make us who we are
Are a joke of politicians , becoming now Czars
The pollution oozing from the swamp of grief
That people scream now needing relief
Of losing freedoms we all enjoy
To socialist ideas that only destroy ...
The Constitution and The Bill of Rights
To shatter History and Amendment fights
When blindness and ignorance are becoming norm
It's time that we stand up to this storm ...
And never forget that our freedom's discreet
And a broken shackle and chain lay at her feet
